The island of Lefkas (also known as Lefkada) is unquestionably one of the most beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea on the western coast of Greece.
Not so hectic as Corfu, not as sleepy as others, it is the ideal combination for relaxing days with beautiful beaches, quiet bays, lively small island towns and villages and friendly people.
Lefkascity is suitable for all kind of purchases. From simple supply in various supermarkets and innumerable fruit and vegetable shops, to the solution of technical problems or also for the medical emergency (also for animals !!) .. everything is available!
There are specialists of any kind as well as a small hospital, a somewhat larger hospital is located in Preveza; in difficult cases the university clinic in Ioannina is recommended.
German and Austrian skippers buy on arrival at the local Lidl, which can be reached quickly by taxi from the marina. A bit more extensive is however the AB supermarket, which one find at the southern end of the marina near the busstation.
In addition, the island is easy to reach for sailors, which come by their own car (very many Austrians and Italians, for example) by the land-connecting bridge . Previously, water sports enthusiasts in Lefkascity were only able to moor at the city pier, which offered no supplies, but also costed nothing. (With some luck you could buy water from fishermen or charter companies ...)
These times are long gone, today the sailors meet in the big Lefkasmarina with over 650 berths, which is excellently managed and has many loyal regular customers.
