TOP OF CHAPTER
West Coast
Serious beach bums should head straight for Lefkada's west coast where the sea lives up
to every cliché: it's an incredible turquoise and the beaches range from arcs of cliff and
white stone to broad expanses of uninterrupted sand. The long stretches of
Pefkoulia
and
Kathisma
in the north are lovely (the latter is becoming more developed and has a few
studios for rent), as are
Megali Petra
and
Avali
, south of Kalamitsi. Or find remote
Egremni
and breathtaking
Porto Katsiki
in the south. Explore! You'll pass local stalls
selling olive oil, honey and wine.
Word is out about the picturesque town of
Agios Nikitas
, and people flock here to en-
joy the pleasant atmosphere of this holiday village, plus attractive
Mylos Beach
just
around the headland. To walk, take the path by Taverna Poseidon; it's about 15 minutes
up and over the peninsula, or take a water taxi (€3) from tiny Agios Nikitas Beach.
Sleeping
Agios Nikitas is loaded with lodgings.
