Aktion International Airport is 38km from the villa, as well as Athens International Airport 408km away. Lefkada, unlike many of the Greek islands, can be reached from the mainland via a causeway, so you can pick up your car at the airport and enjoy the stunning scenery on the drive down to the villa. A car will let you explore throughout your stay, with stunning beaches, luscious green valleys and soaring mountains making up the breath-taking landscape Lefkada has to offer. The Nydri waterfall is often a popular spot to stop, with a walking path weaving its way through olive and citrus groves and over rocks to the base of the falls, where you can swim in the refreshing water canyon – easily accessible for kids and adults alike!
When you are looking to head out to eat, Lefkada offers similar food to the mainland, with delicious Mediterranean feasts, all served up alongside stunning mountain and sea views! The local moussaka is always worth a try, as well as souvlaki, crusty bread and zingy dips! Combine all this with the friendly locals and relaxed, care-free atmosphere and all your stresses can melt away, enjoying every moment of your holiday.
