Latest reviews on Lefkada island's beaches

Nikiana Beach II
10 Evan Parker

We were pleasantly surprised by our experience at the beach. Let's start with the taverna - the food was delicious, reasonably priced, and offered a good variety. The staff were friendly and created a nice atmosphere. The accommodation met our needs, and we were happy to have a fridge and kettle. The beach equipment was in good condition, and despite my initial concerns about it being busy, there were no issues. The beach staff were fantastic. Nikiana is a lovely area with plenty of nice dining options, and I am already looking forward to returning.

Nikiana beach

This stunning and serene beach boasts a tranquil atmosphere that will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The amicable and accommodating staff at the beach bar are sure to make your visit a memorable one.

Gaidaros Beach
10 Samantha Rovinelli.

This beach is an absolute gem with crystal clear waters and it happens to be our top pick. It's the perfect spot for camping and those who enjoy the naturist lifestyle. Accessible by foot from Kathisma beach, it's a must-visit destination.

Avali Beach
10 Nina Zawadzki

What a breathtaking beach! Despite the challenging and winding road, the serenity and beauty of the beach are unparalleled. The parking area is limited and lacks shade, so it's best to arrive early. However, there's a charming terrace where you can indulge in homemade lemonade and tea, although cash is the only accepted payment method. The lady serving us was incredibly kind and even informed us that we could pay via PayPal at a later time. Food service begins at 2 pm, so plan accordingly. If you wish to lounge on a sunbed, it'll cost you 10 euros, but they're immaculate and don't come with any additional perks.

Episkopos Beach
10 Renzo Delvecchio

This serene pebble beach boasts of pristine, translucent waters that are truly a sight to behold. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful escape.
