The nearby resort of Lygia offers a small pebble beach and a busy fishing port which is surrounded by gorgeous fish tavernas, cafes and restaurants. Lygia was formally known for its salt production. Opposite the islet of the salt pans Alexandros, there is a medieval fortress.
Nidri, the largest of the tourist towns just to the south of the villa offers amazing amenities, irresistible sandy beaches, unforgettable views across the islets of Heloni, Sparti, Madouri and Scorpios, gastronomic delights, incredible scenery including famous waterfalls and the Dimosari Gorge and a fantastic dining scene. Nidri and Sivota are favourites with yacht charter firms. Island hopping is very popular, very easy and very enjoyable.

Geni village is a friendly, traditional fishing village where you will be made to feel very welcome in its charming waterfront tavernas.
Lefkada Town is buzzy, picturesque and brilliant for evening strolls, shopping and dining. The town is brimming with charming, narrow alleys, small vibrant squares, elaborate belfries and paved pedestrian areas. If you happen to see the procession of the Philharmonic of Lefkada along the main street, you should know that you are enjoying the oldest cultural society of the island the and second oldest philharmonic of Greece. The town is surrounded by a canal and a lagoon. Further north is Gyra, a thin stretch of sandy beach that forms a circle and is sprinkled with pretty windmills.
Lefkada is a beautiful, lush green island blessed with captivating Blue Flag beaches, picturesque Greek villages, archaeological sights and gorgeous unspoilt countryside sprinkled with olive groves, lush pine and cypress forests, beautiful waterfalls, dramatic gorges and one thousand metre mountain peaks. Lefkada is connected to the mainland by a long causeway and floating bridge. It is an easy drive from Preveza airport. Among the island’s most beautiful beaches are Egremni, Kathisma and the mesmerising Porto Katsiki which is loved for its golden sands and fascinating landscape. The unique beauty of Egremni’s 2.5 km beach has made it one of the most photographed landscapes on the island. Its name comes from the impressive cliffs that surround the beach. Kathisma Beach faces the Ionian archipelago, offering fine dazzling white sand, sparkling turquoise waters and a good selection of beach bars and sun loungers. The best beaches for windsurfing and kitesurfing are Agios Ioannis and Vassiliki. Nidri also boasts a very organised beach with an excellent watersports centre. When staying on the island, visitors enjoy delicious Greek cuisine, plenty of fresh fish, gorgeous local wines and moreish ouzo.
The mountain village of Karya, is lovely with its central square full of taverna tables under the shade of a huge plant tree. Visitors enjoy the local Karysaniki embroidery, once a vital part of the national dress. North-east of Karya and surrounded by towering cypress trees, mountain scenery and craggy cliffs is Lazarata. There are two notable churches, Agios Dionissis and Agios Spiridonas. Lazarata is a great place for a stroll to enjoy the neat vineyards, olive groves, citrus plantations and the red-roofed houses. You can take an organised mountain bike tour of the island, a great way to see the island from a different perspective. Some cycling tours also include the stunning neighbouring island of Meganisi.
The pretty, whitewashed church of Agios Ioannis Antzoussis dates back to the 16th century and is one of the oldest churches in Lefkada.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Alyna is ideal for a family holiday so long as you do not have very young children. One of the bedrooms is located in the adjoining guest house and although it is very close, it does have direct access to the garden and pool. Teenagers would love the room though and having a little independence. The villa is located in a beautiful quiet location but close to Lefkas Town and Nidri with their endless entertainment.
Children love their beach days on the golden sandy beaches of Lefkas. The warm turquoise sea is very inviting. Most of the beaches backed by a beautiful, verdant mountainous landscape which make them look even more beautiful. There is a good variety of watersports on many beaches. The sunsets are pretty spectacular too. Porto Katsiki Beach is often called the ‘Maldives of Europe’ because of its immense beauty. Egremni Beach is another much-loved beach. Adventurous older children enjoy kitesurfing or windsurfing at Mili Beach, Agios Ioannis, Vassiliki and at Kathisma. There are plenty of boat trips from many of the resorts, either to reach the islets, the other islands or to explore the coastline. Trips into the Papanikolis Cave are fascinating. Some of the boat trips include barbecues and most include swimming and snorkeling.
Within very easy reach of Villa Alyna, towards the centre of the island and close to Nidri, are the stunning Dimosari Waterfalls, also known as the Nidri Waterfalls. There is a delightful cafe for lunch before or after the hike. The waterfalls are one of the scenic highlights of the island.
The Monastery of Faneromeni which dates back to the 17th century, offers a wonderful view of the lagoons and beaches around it. Children enjoy lighting candles in the orthodox churches. The monastery is also home to a mini zoo with deer, birds, ducks, parrots, squirrels and chickens.
At the mountain village of Karya children enjoy buying souvenirs from the selection of hand-made puppets and crafts, pretty lace and embroidery on sale.

Beautiful villa!
Beautiful villa, very well furnished, lovely view, pool and grounds; sheltered outdoor seating.
Beautiful location, quiet but walkable to village and beach (quite steep in places). A welcome pack with some nice local produce was included. A very minor point is that there was a slight lack of general provisions of household items, however extra cutlery was asked for and provided promptly during the stay.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
