 Lefkada,
or Leucas (Greek: Λευκάδα, IPA: [le̞fˈkaša];
ancient Greek and Katharevousa: Λευκάς, Leukįs;
Italian: Santa Maura) is a Greek island in the
Ionian Sea on the west coast of Greece,
connected to the mainland by a long causeway and
floating bridge. The city of Lefkada, is
situated on the northern part of the island,
approximately 20 minutes by automobile away from
Aktion National Airport. The Prefecture of
Lefkada comprises Lefkada island plus the
smaller nearby islands of Meganisi, Kalamos,
Kastos, Madouri, Skorpios, and Sparti. It is the
smallest prefecture of Greece in both land area
and population (2001 census).Lefkada Town (population: 6,903), has a pedestrianised main street, a marina, and bus access to Athens. The east coast section of the island has small resorts of Lefkada, Nikiana and Perigiali, all north of Nidri, the largest resort on the island. It is set in a sheltered location with views across to Skorpios—owned by Aristotle Onassis, Meganissi and other small islands, as well as the Greek mainland. The main coastal road from Lefkada to Vasiliki runs through the town, although a bypass is being built. There are regular car ferries to Kefalonia, Ithaca and Meganissi. 20 km south of Nidri is the resort of Vasiliki, a windsurfing center. There are ferries to Kefalonia and Ithaca from Vasiliki. South of Vasiliki is Cape Lefkada, where the Greek female poet Sappho allegedly leapt to her death from the 30 m high cliffs. The famous beach of Porto Katsiki (photo) is located on Lefkada's west coast. Lefkada was attached to mainland Greece.. |
