Frequently Asked Questions
By tender, from the ship at anchor in the bay. The crossing is already a first excursion: a string of wooded islets closes the bay and olive-covered hills run down to the water.
On the east coast of Lefkada, the Ionian island the Greeks call Lefkada. The landing opens directly onto the waterfront promenade, named Akti Aristoteli Onasi.
The place was long the retreat of Aristotle Onassis. A statue of the shipowner gazes at Skorpios, his private island offshore like a floating garden, while Madouri with its neoclassical villa completes the picture.
The Dimosari waterfalls in the morning, then an iced coffee on the promenade facing the islets. The boat excursion to the west coast beaches, by contrast, takes the day.
A cool valley a short distance from the village, reached in a few minutes by road then by an easy path between plane trees and rock walls. Water tumbles into translucent green pools: in a quarter of an hour you go from yachts to mountain gorges.
No, the approach is short and shaded, and suits the whole family. The braver slip into the main pool; others settle for dipping their feet.
The spectacular beaches of Lefkada's west coast, reached by launch from the landing: Egremni, a vast ribbon of pale sand below sheer cliffs, Porto Katsiki, now one of Greece's most widely shared images, and Agiofili, famed for the clarity of its water.
Yes, early in the day: places go quickly in high season. The launches leave the landing in the morning, and you need to keep an eye on the ship's return time.
Very much so. The promenade is flat, the waterfalls are accessible to everyone, and bicycles can be hired to follow the coast. It is a relaxed island resort where menus are written in chalk.
No, and it should be said: no famous ruins and no major museums. What the place has is a rare balance of sea and mountain, century-old olive groves and hamlets where island life keeps its own pace.
