Ammoglossa Beach: a laid-back destination just a breath away from Lefkada Town
A beach with pristine waters frequented mostly by locals, lying opposite the pontoon bridge accessing the island behind the TAOL building.
Gyra is a particularly popular beach for the locals due to its proximity to the town of Lefkada and is also ideal for families with small children because there are very few waves.
Ai Giannis and Myloi: One of the most suitable beaches for fans of windsurfing and kitesurfing due to the strong winds that blow here. Both are very close to the town of Lefkada, have clear turquoise waters and cover a distance of 4,5 km.
Pefkoulia: Large sandy beach with very clean waters and pine trees that reach the sand. Its amazing turquoise waters and its iidyllic environment make it perfect for endless hours of sunbathing.

This small beach with clear blue waters is preferred mainly by families. It is located in the traditional resort of Agios Nikitas, its is organized and offers many choices for coffee or food. When the island is crowded we suggest that you arrive early in to order to find a parking spot. In its left side, between Mylos and Agios Nikitas, there is another wonderful beach called Amoudoula. You can go there only by swimming and you will also find there the Fokotrypa cave.

You can get there with a 20-minute walk (we suggest that you wear sneakers) from the scenic path that starts in Agios Nikitas or by taking a water taxi from the beach of Agios Nikitas (during the summer months the boat routes are very frequent).

Kathisma: Once the favourite of campers and nudists, it is today Lefkada’s most cosmopolitan seashore, organized with umbrellas, loungers, beach bar and restaurants. The sand is white and pebbly, the sea blue-green. If you stay on the beach until the time the sun sets, you will have the chance to see what is probably the most impressive sunset in the Ionian Sea. Take care however! When the northwesterly wind is strong the waves are high and it is best not to attempt to swim.
