Lefkada also known as Lefkas or Leukas, is a Greek island in the Ionian sea on the west coast of Greece, connected to the mainland by a long causeway and floating bridge. The principal town of the island is Lefkada and it is situated on the northern part of the island, approx. 25 min. by car from Aktion airport.

The myth about Sappho’s suicide at Cape Lefkada is related to other myths linking the island to the ancient Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, and to Odysseus, the hero of Homer’s Odyssey.

Lefkas , also known as the “Caribbean of Greece”, stands out for its exotic ambiance and breathtaking natural landscape! For that reason it is an unparalleled destination for the lovers of beaches and sea sports.

Lefkada provides a wide range of options when it comes to accommodation services. Hotels, rooms, and apartments to let, located all across the island, compose a beautiful picture that puts authentic hospitality, cleanness, and the locals’ professionalism in the foreground.
