LEFKADA ISLAND IS YOUR ionian ESCAPE
Visit an island where crystal clear waters meet golden cliffs, where villages keep their traditions alive, and where sunsets paint the Ionian horizon. Lefkada Island is more than a destination, it’s a story waiting to be lived.
How to and Why Visit Lefkada Island
Lefkada Island is one of Greece’s most captivating destinations, combining immersive beaches, with lush mountains and authentic Ionian charm. What makes it unique is not only its breathtaking scenery, but also how easy it’s to reach. Unlike the most Greek islands, Lefkada is connected to the mainland, by a floating bridge. This means you can simply drive onto the island without taking a ferry. This rare accessibility makes Lefkada an inviting escape for both Greek travelers and international visitors.
Reaching Lefkada is effortless, whether by air or by land. The nearest airport, Aktion in Preveza, is just 20 minutes away, with frequent flights from Athens and direct connections to major European cities during the summer season. For those traveling by car, the journey is equally rewarding, about four and a half to six hours from Athens, or three and a half to 4 hours from Thessaloniki, through landscapes that prepare you for the beauty of the Ionian. Sailing enthusiasts also choose Lefkada for its modern marinas, anchoring their yachts before exploring the island’s coastline.
