- West-coast beaches — Porto Katsiki, Egremni and Kathisma are among the most photographed beaches in Europe: white pebbles, sheer cliffs, impossibly blue water.
- Nydri & the islets — boat trips to Skorpios, Meganisi and the sea caves; the Dimosari waterfalls a short walk inland.
- Vasiliki — one of the best windsurfing bays in the world, thanks to the afternoon thermal wind.
- Lefkada town — the fortress of Agia Mavra, the marina, the Archaeological Museum, the Charamoglios Library and the lanes of the old town.
- Mountain villages — Karya, famous for its embroidery, and Englouvi, for its lentils; panoramic roads and traditional festivals.
- Kalamos & Kastos — two small, unspoilt islands reached by boat from Mytikas.
