Lefkada is an island located in the Ionian Sea, part of the Ionian Islands, which are administered under the Decentralized Administration of Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian. The island is known for its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, with some of the most famous ones being Porto Katsiki, Egremni, and Kathisma. The landscape is mountainous, with lush forests of pine and cypress trees, and there are several traditional villages scattered throughout the island. The town of Lefkada, located on the northern side of the island, is the main hub for tourism and features a charming harbor, narrow streets, and plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops. Offshore, there are several small islands, including Skorpios, which was famously owned by Aristotle Onassis. The area around Lefkada is considered one of the most beautiful in Greece, with stunning views at every turn.
