Discover Lefkada Resorts

Nidri is Lefkada’s most popular tourist resort, located 16 km south of Lefkada Town. With around 800 residents, the village is built around a natural bay and offers excellent tourist facilities, including taverns, restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, and a wide choice of accommodation.

Surrounded by lush greenery, Nidri is ideal for relaxed, fun holidays—especially for families. Sandy beaches line the coast, and the waterfront offers views of the nearby islets of Heloni, Sparti, Madouri, and Skorpios, once owned by Aristotle Onassis.

A statue of Onassis stands on the promenade facing Skorpios.

Nidri’s busy port connects by ferry to Meganisi, Ithaca, and Kefalonia and is filled with fishing boats and yachts. In summer, cultural and religious events bring the village to life.

Nearby sights include the Dimosari waterfalls and gorge, prehistoric remains, and a small folklore museum.

It's a fantastic holiday destination. The island is located in Greece, south of Corfu and north of Kefalonia. Lefkas is an island with beautiful green scenery and stunning white beaches.

You'll find beautiful waterfalls, charming villages, such as the seaside resort of Nidri, the charming main town of Lefkas Town, and numerous small islands just off the coast, such as the islet of Skorpios, which once belonged to Onassis, and the beautiful Meganisi. You can take a boat from Nidri to explore the small islands up close.

Porto Katsiki , Worldwide known, chosen and voted more than once in top 10 of beaches in Mediterranean and in Europe.

A relatively large and sandy beach surrounded by white cliffs. Whilst it is possible to drive to the beach and take the steps down the cliff, there are also daily boat trips that leave from Nidri and Vasiliki harbour.

The journey takes around 1½ to 2 hours and can be fairly choppy sometimes. Don't forget the sea legs! , more

Vassiliki sits snugly around a natural bay, backed by a lush plain, and in summer its little port feels properly alive.

Ferries and excursion boats come and go, carrying travellers to Ithaca and Kefalonia, as well as to nearby beaches that you can only reach by sea. Along the waterfront you’ll also find some excellent seafood tavernas—simple, unfussy places where the day’s catch is the main event.

Over the years, Vassiliki has built a strong tourist reputation and draws a steady stream of visitors, but its real devoted following is made up of windsurfers. When conditions are right, the bay becomes a playground, with sails criss-crossing the water and the whole place taking on that energetic, sporty buzz.

The main beach is well organised, with sunbeds and umbrellas, plus water-sports centres offering equipment and lessons.

It’s also well set up for a longer stay, with a good range of accommodation, campsites, shops, cafés, and restaurants.

One of Vassiliki’s big advantages is how easy it makes beach-hopping by boat.

Agios Nikitas really does have that “old Lefkada” feel. It’s tucked into green hills, and right by the coast you still see older houses with distinctive façades that give the village a lot of character.

Down at the water there’s a small church with a bell tower and a garden that looks out over the sea, and the cafés and tavernas along the front keep a genuinely traditional vibe. The water is that signature Ionian turquoise, and the steep rocks rising close to the shore add a dramatic backdrop—there’s even a walking area beneath them.

What makes the place especially pleasant is how walkable it becomes in summer. The street leading down to the sea is narrow, paved, and lined with shops and places to eat, and it’s closed to traffic from around 10am, which turns it into a kind of mini promenade.

The centre is tiny—basically a single main street—and that lack of space is probably why it has managed to stay so “un-urban.” Outside the core, it’s mostly rental properties rather than sprawling development.

In practical terms, it’s a one-street village everything funnels down to that short strip by the sea.

Nikiana is a small town about 9 km from Lefkada Town (Lefkas) and roughly 4 km beyond Lygia as you continue east towards Nidri, sitting at the foot of Mount Skaros.

It’s essentially a relaxed fishing village that’s grown more popular in recent years, but it still suits travellers who want things calm rather than buzzy.

The layout is simple: a single main road with a few shops and eateries, plus a small harbour where sailing boats gather. Down by the port you’ll find more tavernas and cafés, and it’s a pleasant place for an evening stroll.

The local beach is narrow and gravelly (big pebbles). It’s fine for a quick swim—clean water and convenient if you’re staying nearby—but it’s not the sort of beach people travel to Lefkada for.

The sea here tends to be clearer than you’d expect, but you won’t get that electric turquoise you see on the island’s west coast.
