Lefkada is the fourth largest island in the Ionian Sea located between Corfu and Cephalonia. A thin strip of sea which the first Corinthian settlers here dredged in the mid 7th century BC is all that separates the island from the prefecture of Akarnania, but having said that access is easy thanks to the causeway which links the two sides of this channel.

Lefkada owes its name to the island's most southerly tip, Cape Lefkatas, which in ancient times was known by the Greek name "Leucas akra" or "Leucas petra" meaning white end or white stone, referring to the white rock there.

Twenty four small and large satellite islands scattered across the sea form the Prefecture of Lefkada. This small chain of islands with its varying landscape and special features is a real challenge just crying out to be explored.
