    The island of Lefkada has so much more to offer. I’m awestruck by the lovely beaches and breathtaking scenery, as well as the various water and land activities. I guess I should try paragliding to conquer my fear of heights! Yay!

  2. Honestly, this is the first I heard about this place and it is beautiful. It’s cool that you can reach this by car. I can just imagine the view while driving. Agio Fili so so beautiful. This place is paradise. 

  3. Wow — Lefkada looks and sounds wonderful! Such incredible views and beaches! I’ve only been to Santorini and Lefkada seems less touristy. Also, I love the fact that it is more easily reached, even by car.

  4. Lefkada really looks beautiful. Great that you do not need to go by boat – that gives you much more flexibility. Good to know that there are nice beaches but also some possibilities for activities.

  5. Lefkada Island seems to be one of the less known spots of Greece. I’ve never heard of it, but I’d definitely like to visit some un-spoilt villages, hidden beaches and rugged rocks like these.

  6. You gave us so much more than 3 reasons to visit Lefkada. The island seems to be perfect, with activities for everyone. Those beaches look so tempting. I have never been to Greece but you have convinced me to pick Lefkada first, when I decide to visit.

  7. I need no reason to visit, Lefkada Island has my vote! The beaches look dreamy, and I would love to take a horse ride on the Sunday with the group.

  8. I love hearing about off-the-beaten-path places, especially this one because so many of the Greek islands have become so touristy! For me, Milos Beach looks absolutely perfect, pristine, and about as private as possible. I also love that you can reach Lefkada by car. I may not be so keen on driving through the mountains and hairpin turns, but on arrival, it looks to be well worth the trouble to get there. What a gorgeous place to visit!

  9. Beautiful! I visited a few Ionian islands last summer as well. And of course, I loved Lefkada beaches. Porto Katsiki will stay in my mind for a long time due to such surreal water color! 🙂
    Love the post, you’ve included everything there is to see and do. And I can tell that you had an amazing time in Greece!

  10. What a beautiful island. There are so many amazing Greek Islands and I’ve actually not heard of this one before. Excited to dig in and research more!

  11. This looks like an amazing island with such a variety of environments.  I would hike and paddleboard for sure!

  12. Such cool adventure sports to do! I always think of Greek islands as being a place to just lie down and not do anything but eat :p 

  13. I love Greece & reading this made me long to go back! I’ve spent most time in Athens & the Cyclades but Lefkada looks gorgeous & I like the idea of being able to drive from the mainland instead of the usual ferries. I have tried windsurfing & kite surfing but would love to take more lessons, at least for kitesurfing as it looks a bit too challenging for a beginner on a windsurf! Looks like a beautiful island so thank you for introducing it onto my radar.

  14. Gorgeous beaches and mountains, This looks amazing and away from the crowds which put me off the otherwise beautiful islands of zante, mykinos and Santorini (plus there wasn’t as much as this to do on those islands, they’ve geared it mostly towards those that just want to get a good picture or tthose who want to spend most of their days at the beach/pool – nothin wrong just not my cup of tea… I’m a bit like you and the other writers on here)

    We have always wanted to do a long trip and move from island to island in Greece.  We would love a spot like Lefkada Island with unspoilt beaches and villages.  Good to know we can actually drive to the island.  Hairpin turns and jaw dropping views are our kind of thing! It definitely sounds like there is lots to do for a week!  A lovely one to add to the list.

  16. I want to visit Greece so badly! Lefkada looks like such a beautiful island and I definitely will add this to my list whenever I can finally go there <3

  17. Thanks for this little trip to a beautiful Greek island. Makes me long to go. I’ve never been to Greece, but Lefkada is for sure on the list if I ever get there!

  18. I’ve never even heard of Lefkada Island, but you’ve persuaded me to add it to my list! Those pictures are amazing! I would love to kayak there. 

  19. Wow looks beyond stunning! Seems like there is so much to do here. Windsurfing looks great!

  20. What a fantastic island this is – so pristine. I would assume the island is also not that much crowded as the regular tourists prefer Santorini or Mykonos.  

  21. I just came back from a different part of Greece in July & IN LOVE! Definitely need to stop by these beaches since I love to SUP and kayak – especially at mountainous beaches!

  22. Joseph Benson says:

    Wow! That whole island is such a beautiful sight! I would love to explore those mountains.

    Everything about this island is making me want to go back to Greece. I went to Mykonos but this is a good hidden gem to visit.  👍

  24. I love these rugged, wild forest & olive groves. I would love to visit Lefkada Island. The scenery is breathtaking. Tsoukalades beach seems perfect to relax.❤👍

  25. Nicole Anderson says:

    Great post! I love Greece! There are so many beautiful places to visit in this amazing country! Lefkada island is in my travel bucket list!! 

  26. Greece is such a beautiful country! I did an 8-day sailing trip through many of the islands last summer, but didn’t get to Lefkada. I’ve started Kite Surfing so maybe I’ll do it there next time 😉

  27. Mark and Chuck says:

    Spectacular scenery! Not sure you’d get us parasailing but there are tons of incredible activities we’d love to try

  28. I have put Lefkada Island on my list!  There is nothing better than beaches and mountains, and the Sunday horse ride by the locals would be a really cool sight to see!

  29. Greece has always been on my bucket list and somewhere I’ve wanted to travel! These pictures make me want to go there even more! ❤

  30. These photos are beautiful! Great post with lots of ideas to do!
