Lefkada belongs to the Seven Island Complex and is the fourth larger island of the Ionian Sea. It is the only island accessible by car, thanks to the floating bridge that connects the Island to the Mainland, creating a crossroad of land and sea!
The island’s Mediterranean climate, its magical beaches, the verdant mountains and crystalline waterfalls, make it one of the most popular islands of Greece, not only among Greek travelers.
