Lefkas Villas and holiday homes Lefkada
Watching the sun burst into a colorful collection of pinks and violets over the breathtaking Ionian Sea is a popular pastime on the Greek island of Levkas (also referred to as Lefkas, or Levkada). The Art Bridge is highly recommended for its fine views, or the balcony of your Lefkas villa.One of the most stunning of the Ionian Islands, Lefkas is big enough to be connected by a bridge to the mainland and others including Corfu, Ithaka, Kithira, and Kefalonia. Beyond the principle Ionian Islands there is a vast archipelago, which has captured the imaginations of travelers for centuries, if not millennia. Indeed, while the Cyclades seem to gather all the Greek hype these days, it’s the Ionians which first sparked modern interest in travel to Greece. With the fine villas and holiday homes this area has to offer, it's easy to see why.
Beaches on the island of Levkas are incredible, although if you’re a fan of more secluded and romantic spots of sand, then head east of the town Vassiliki or to the seemingly undiscovered Kathisma Beach, where even millennia later you’ll have sense that this land has not changed much since Odysseus lived here – many scholars contend that the real, historical Ithaca was on these very lands. Odysseus must have reveled in the powdery golden sands and soul-warming sun before in the end his gaze out into the pristine blue of the Adriatic Sea became too compelling and he just had to set sail and explore. Avoid his fate and stay nestled in your Levkas villa, enjoying everything this island has to offer.
With a pair of jet skis, a canoe, or equipment for windsurfing or kite surfing, you too may experience the thrill of the waters the Odysseus first felt, although unlike the great traveler, you can head back when you like to enjoy some delightful basking in the sun, followed by a decent nightlife served up at the local resorts. Dance clubs, bars, theater and other entertainment options abound. Hotels, villas, and apartment rentals Lefkas offer good value all around the island.
Try not to stay stuck on the beach, though. The hidden charms of Lefkas are its inland villages, connected by roads that are very cyclist friendly. One of the most famous attractions in Levkas is the Castle of Avia Mavra, which was converted from a Byzantine Church into a Turkish mosque. It makes for a fascinating and highly rewarding visit.
