Lefkas Town Holidays

Lefkas Town – Pleasant friendly and very characterful island capital
Lefkas Town is the picturesque capital of Lefkas and is found on the northern tip of the island just twenty minutes from Preveza airport. Lefkas Town is connected to the Greek mainland by an eye-catching narrow fortified causeway. Holidays in Lefkas Town offer an idiosyncratic town full of tiny churches and curious brightly painted wooden houses in a picturesque jumble of narrow lanes. Overlooking the town is the peaceful monastery of Faneromeni with great views, and the Venetian fortress of St George on the mainland. There are fine Venetian churches and some interesting museums and galleries. Holidays in Lefkas Town enjoy a car-free town small enough to have a village atmosphere.

Holidays in Lefkas Town – Greek street life and traditional cafes
Lefkas Town holidays offer the best shopping on the island with fascinating markets and fish shops and a nice plentiful mix of traditional and modern bars and tavernas, many with fine views across to the mountains of mainland Greece.
