Lefkas - Sunvil
Lefkas
Fertile and green, with sweeping
mountains and a turquoise sea, Lefkas
encapsulates the dramatic panorama of Greece.
IONIAN ISLANDS LEFKAS
Nidri Bay
An east coast beach
Across a canal originally excavated in 640BC, a swing-bridge joins the
spectacular island of Lefkas to the Greek mainland. Twenty one miles
long and nine miles wide, Lefkas is divided by the towering spine of
Mount Stavratos, so that each corner of the island has its own character.
To the north, windswept dunes and ruined fortresses; to the west,
magnificent beaches of perfect sand beneath steep limestone cliffs; the
east, more sheltered, with honey-coloured beaches stretching as far as
the eye can see.
