Lefkada

Lefkada is the northern Ionian hub: the Lefkas Canal with its swing bridge by town, easy day hops along the sheltered east coast (Nidri, Vlicho, Sivota) and down to Vasiliki; waters are micro-tidal with reliable summer sea-breezes.

About Lefkada

A floating swing bridge at Lefkas Canal links the island to the mainland; approaches are straightforward but traffic builds up before openings (northern entrance ~6 m depth). Stay within the buoyed fairway.

The east coast is a short-hop playground—Lefkas Marina/town quay, Nidri and Vlicho Bay, and Sivota line up as close shelters. To the south, Vasiliki is a famed wind spot; the harbour silts and actual depths need checking on arrival.

Conditions are micro-tidal, with sea level and sea state driven mainly by wind/pressure; summer brings a dependable afternoon breeze.

The west coast is more exposed and spectacular (Porto Katsiki, Egremni) but offers fewer all-weather refuges.
