The island of Lefkada

The island of Lefkada, with an area of 295 sq km, is the fourth largest island in the Ionian Sea and has a coastline of 117 km.

Between Lefkas and mainland Greece, the distance is quite short and a small bridge is used to connect the two sides. The bridge of Lefkas, however, is different from ordinary bridges because it is floating and can be moved, creating a... crossroad of "land" and sea.

Along the coast there are seceral beaches, but especially on the west side of the island are the best known like Pefkoulia, Egremni and of course the famous Porto Katsiki.
