The town of Lefkada, which is worth exploring, is 1,500 meters from our complex.
Below, you will find some useful historical information.
A little far away from the town and directly opposite the floating bridge, you will discover the Venetian castle of Agia Mavra. The castle is a model of fortification art. In the heart of the town, you should visit the archaeological museum and the Marina of Lefkada, which is considered one of the largest and most organized marinas in Greece.
At the entrance of the city, next to the harbor, you can walk through the famous park of the poets – the locals use to call it “Bosqueto”. Today, the area has been shaped according to the needs of the town’s inhabitants and modern architectural standards and is yet another reason to explore the historic center of Lefkada on foot.
Do not forget to cross the wooden bridge that is built over the canal and located right in front of the pedestrian street with the cafe-bars, next to the town’s port. The locals call it “bridge of sighs” or “bridge of lovers”.
On the beach of Gyra, near the town, find the four ancient windmills.
On the beach of Agios Ioannis, discover the chapel of Agios Ioannis of Anjousi, while you should not forget to visit the Holy Monastery of Panagia Faneromenis.
This particular monastery has great historical and religious value.
