Nydri is a port town that offers many pleasant surprises to the traveler, from all-day island-hopping cruise ship excursions to local wine tasting vendors. I even remember local children putting on shadow puppet theatrical displays in the street.

The world-famous beach of crystal clear waters and sun-loving sand. Found close to the tip of Lefkada, you take a flight of stairs to reach this cliffside paradise.

Ice-cold water, hot white sand. I have many fond memories of this place. Not sure about road access, mostly reached by boat.

Organized but crowded beach. Definitely for the people watchers. Also, a great place to go paragliding.
