Lefkada island
An Ionian island connected to the mainland, suited to a carefully focused road outing.
Road access changes the plan
Lefkada is connected to the mainland by a floating bridge. That makes a road visit possible without a ferry crossing, but it does not make every part of the island a quick trip from Parga.
Choose one side of the island
Decide whether you want time in Lefkada town or a particular beach before setting off. The island’s coastline is extensive, and trying to join several far-apart beach stops can turn the visit into a day in the car.
Keep the journey realistic
Allow for the return to Parga, stops and parking. Verify the final beach approach as well as the main road route. The official tourism beach guide is a useful starting point for choosing the part of Lefkada you actually want to see.
