If you love nature...

Apart from the lagoons and the fields, there are other places worth visiting for their natural beauty. Among them, we would recommend the waterfalls of Dimossari gorge near Nidri and the huts of the village Voltoi.

The plateau of Eglouvi is definitely a must, where you will not only be stunned by the scenery but you will also learn how the rare lentils of Eglouvi are grown.

Not only natural beauties!

Lefkada has a rich cultural heritage with which you could become more acquainted by visiting the Archaeological museum in the Town of Lefkada or the Ecclesiastical museum in the Faneromeni Convent with a small but amazing view and a balcony that offers a great spot for photos. The convent itself is a landmark of the island along with the church of Agios Ioannis which was built in 1477! Another not-to-be-missed sight is the Fortress of Agia Mavra, very close to the Town.

If you stay in Lefkada...

The best of all the events that are organised on Lefkada in the summer is the International Folklore Festival. The island has a strong literary tradition since it has been the birthplace of many well-respected Greek poets, such as Sikelianos and Valaoritis. The locals have continued their love for literature and art by organizing the Literature and Arts Festival. The event peaks with the folklore festival and the town becomes a lively parade with folklore dancers from all over the world sending a message for peace.
