Lefkada is really an amazing place. I went with my aunt and managed to meet some locals who were all well-behaved and showed me around. There were people from all over the world, but the most important thing is that we felt completely safe at all times. Overall, I want to go again, so I can discover more interesting places I didn't manage to see this time around. I hope to go again next year by myself. Ithaka is also amazing. ❤️

I loved loved loved the food in Lefkada ,the best was probably on the day cruise I took ,they also served homemade limoncello. What I can say is that some beaches had really strong wind but it really depends on the weather you get. The pricing was good and the people were nice. Overall I would visit it again.

A small, green and mountainous island. The journey itself is enchanting thanks to the beautiful views at every step. You will find stunning beaches here, each with a different shade of turquoise. It is still a relatively undiscovered island, very pastoral. A place to relax in nature. It does not have as many historical sites and beautiful cities as, for example, Crete. However, you can find attractions such as waterfalls and picturesque viewpoints in the mountains. I visited it in June, and many beaches were empty.
