Location
About the surrounding area of Villa HemitateLefkada, otherwise known as Lefkas, is a lush, beautiful island surrounded by fabulous beaches. Its scenic hilly countryside is sprinkled with quaint hilltop villages such as Lazarata. You can climb mountain peaks and walk or cycle along the many trails, captivated by the gorgeous scenery. Some of best places to see are the Skari Mountain with its centenarian oak trees, the gorge of Melissa, the water springs of Dafni and Kersia and Elati Mountain. When hiking, you will enjoy exploring ancient monasteries, small churches and gorgeous villages. The mountain village of Karya, is lovely with its central square full of busy 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, the nearest village to Villa Hemitate. It boasts two notable churches, Agios Dionissis and Agios Spiridonas as well as some friendly cafes, restaurants, a bakery and shops. Lazarata is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, citrus plantations and red-roofed houses. Nearby are the sleepy villages of Asprogeratkata, Kavallos and Pinakochori. 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. It is quite remarkable that Lefkas remains under the tourist radar and feels like a special secret.
Pefkoulia, Milos and Kathisma beaches are all close to Villa Hemitate. Milos is wonderful. Kathisma Beach faces the Ionian archipelago, offering fine dazzling white sand, sparkling turquoise waters and a good selection of beach bars and sun loungers. Pefkoulia Beach is an impressive sandy beach close to the fishing village of Agios Nikitas. The beach can get quite crowded in the summer as it is so popular. Among the island’s most beautiful beaches are Egremni which is also within easy reach, Kathisma and the mesmerising Porto Katsiki which is adored 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. The best beaches for windsurfing and kitesurfing are Agios Ioannis and Vassiliki. Nidri Beach is very organised with an excellent watersports centre and plenty of loungers, parasols and beach bars.
Nidri is the largest of the tourist towns with Nikiana being the second. The town boasts an endless list of amenities and activities, irresistible sandy beaches, unforgettable views, an excellent dining scene and beautiful scenery. Nidri and Sivota are favourites with yacht charter firms. Island hopping is very popular, very easy and very enjoyable. Excursion boats can take you to the local islets and the secluded coastal bays of Lefkas. Ferries can take you to Ithaca and Kefalonia. The gorgeous Geni peninsula is a fifteen minute drive around the bay from Nidri or a five minute crossing by boat. Geni village is a friendly, traditional fishing village where you will be made to feel very welcome in its charming waterfront tavernas. Another fabulous place to visit is the medieval castle of Santa Maura.
Wine lovers enjoy Lefkas Earth, the home of some fine local wines. You can combine this stop with a fresh seafood lunch overlooking the brilliant blue waters at Sivota or Vasiliki.
