Lefkada is different from the famous resorts of the Mediterranean. The island is Eden for those who prefer semi-wild holidays to mass tourism with large-scale parties and crowded beaches. The sandy and pebble banks and slopes of Lefkada, covered with cypress and olive groves, breathe peace. In high season, kitesurfing and windsurfing fans flock to the northern fringes of the island. The coastal line is represented by isolated bays and few beaches with amenities.
