Cheap Holidays to Lefkas

Lefkas is an island located on the west coast of Greece, known for being relatively untouched by mass tourism. Holidays to Lefkas are like visiting the Greece of yesteryear. This gem of the Ionian Sea boats great mountains back drops, stunning sandy beaches, secluded coves and peaceful harbours. A keen retreat for walkers, surfers, sailors, cyclists, divers and other keen out doorsey types.
Covered in traditional charm the island of Lefkas gives you a Greek Island feel yet with easy access to the mainland. The Island used to be separated by a canal but now a bridge links the two making transfers to the resorts of Lygia and Nidri from Preveza Airport between half an hour and forty five minutes! When you reach the island, Lefkas City is your first port of call. Staggering scenery of salt lakes and city landscapes. Boat trips from the island can be taken to Kefalonia and Ithaca too – watch out for dolphin hitchers!

The varied coastline of Lefkas is well worth exploring, stunning long sandy beaches on a back drop of white rocks and green valleys. Picture post card views in the East are ideal for those wishing to fully unwind and relax. The more rugged wild areas of the west are better for those wishing to adventure. The working towns on in the centre of the island are great for visiting – pick up some great hand crafted souvenirs. Sailors will not be able to resist the windy shores of Nidri, whilst Vassiliki is an absolute mecca for windsurfers!

The laid back atmosphere of Lefkas does liven up more in the summer months, Nidri is probably the liveliest place on the island. There is a vast array of restaurants on the island, mezes, fresh fish and other Greek favourites cannot be missed. The larger resorts like Nidri, Lygia, Vassiliki and Lefkos town will have a range of international cuisines too.
Hotels are generally quite small and simple offering a calm, relaxed holiday. Ideal for those seeking RnR. Fleetway Travel can book you cheap holidays to Lefkas as well as last minute deals and packages.
