POSH PORTS OF THE MEDITERRANEANCHAPTER FOUR: LEFKADA

Nydri Harbour Lefkada Island Greece POSH PORTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN: LEFKADA

An island in the Ionian Archipelago chain along Greece’s west coast, Lefkada, is a hidden treasure.

With the ocean shifting in tones of turquoise to lapis and the land blanketed in lush emerald greens, punctuated by bursts of magenta and raspberry blossoms, even a mermaid would be torn between whether her heart belonged to the land or the sea. A love triangle you will soon find yourself in.

When you sail your boat through Nidri Bay to the Geni Harbor it is obvious that you just slipped into a little slice of heaven. However, endless beauty isn’t the only thing Lefkada has to offer. You can enjoy the excitement of windsurfing on rainbow colored sails around the bay, go swimming beside natural caves, and hike the winding trails of the mountain which rises over 1100 meters.

And, when you’re done with your adventures take it slow by exploring the local shops where you’ll find hand made goods and maybe even a bit of magic that time forgot. Surrender to the night after a long glorious sunset and enjoy a dinner of island specialties by candlelight at a taverna so close to the water you can reach out and touch it. One thing is certain, you will be craving more of Lefkada before you even leave her.

The pleasant evening

Note: Be sure to explore the sister islands of the archipelago: Cephalonia, Corfu, Ithaki, Kythira, Paxi, and Zakinthos, for more Greecian adventures.
