Lefkas 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. It is in the north of the island, about 20 minutes drive by car from Aktion National Airport.
Nidri is the largest holiday resort on the island of Lefkas. It is set in a sheltered position with views across to Skorpios – once owned by Aristotle Onassis, as well as views to the Greek mainland.
The island of Lefkas has a typical Mediterranean climate; hot summers and cool winters, especially in the mountains.
Apparently the cleanliness of the accommodation in Nidri is top notch, and the apartments are lovely, very well maintained including their gardens. The apartments are in a peaceful location with fantastic views of the mountains, and there are plenty of sun-beds for all.
The resort of Nidri is very cosmopolitan and the restaurants are plentiful, with a very wide range of prices to suit everyone’s pocket. A local bus service runs reliably and the stops are ample on the main Nidri high street. It is very pleasant and inexpensive to hire a small boat for the whole day and sail around the islands of the Ionian Sea, stopping off for a meal somewhere en route (or should that be en voyage?).
Nidri holiday resort is centrally located so it is great as a jumping off point to visit other places which interest you.
In the holiday resort of Aghios Ioannis on Lefkas you will find a golden sandy beach which is nothing short of spectacular, azure waters contrasting alluringly with lush green mountains, overlooked by the most important monastery of Lefkas. Aghios Ioannis is an enticingly beautiful and idyllic backwater, less than a 10 minute drive from Lefkada Town.
In spite of its amazing beach, surprisingly little tourist development has taken place here, being limited to a handful of properties scattered amongst the olive groves that border the coastline at Aghios Ioannis, and a few places to eat and drink along its shore. The beach itself at this holiday resort stretches for miles and ranges from glorious golden sands at the western end to wild windswept sand dunes dotted with old windmills – once powered by the steady winds that are a trademark of Lefkas. This is a terrific spot for water sports and the water sports centre in Aghios Ioannis specializes in the increasingly popular kite-surfing. If this appeals to your adventurous spirit, perhaps a holiday in the resort of Aghios Ioannis on Lefkas is the destination for you.
