One of the Ionian islands, Lefkada is the only island you can drive to on the West coast of Greece - it is attached to the mainland by a a fifty meter floating bridge.
Lefkada island has much to offer: impressive landscapes, long golden sandy beaches, dazzling blue sea, traditional villages, archaeological sites and museums, several animated beach resorts with many activities, perfect wind conditions for windsurfing and kite surfing and sailing through its ten surrounding islets is idyllic.
Far to the south is the windsurfer's paradise, Vasiliki. The port is lined with shops and cafes and of course, after dark there is a lively nightlife scene.
The main town on the east coast is Nydri (or Nidri). There are splendid views of the offshore islands from Nydri. Nydri has a commercial feel and offers tavernas very near the shore and it's a nice spot to sit a twilight. Whether you prefer peaceful holidays, educational or active ones, Lefkada is one of those top destinations
