Lefkada is unique among Greek islands: it's connected to the Greek mainland by a 30-meter floating bridge, so you can drive on without a ferry. The west coast (Porto Katsiki, Egremni, Kathisma) has the dramatic limestone-cliff turquoise-water beaches that show up in every travel ad; the south coast at Vasiliki is one of Europe's premier kitesurf and windsurf destinations thanks to a reliable thermal wind cycle (calm morning, building afternoon). Nydri on the east coast is the main tourist hub; Lefkada Town up north is the year-round administrative center. Internet is solid (Cosmote fiber); same Greek DNV / Schengen 90/180 visa story.
