Plan

Build a Greece itinerary

Choose up to three islands or regions and how many days you have. You get a day-by-day plan from the places in our guide — a sight, a beach and a taverna each day, kept to one part of the island — with honest transfer days between destinations. We tell you how to travel between them; for times, always check the ferry operator.

Worth booking in Lefkada

Meganisi, Skorpios & the sea cavesThe classic day cruise from Nydri: past Skorpios, into Meganisi's coves and the Papanikolis sea cave.Porto Katsiki by seaThe west-coast beaches under the white cliffs, reached by boat from Vasiliki — no parking hunt, no steps.

Where to stay in Lefkada

Live prices and availability on a map centred on this exact spot — hotels, studios and villas — so you can judge the distance to the beach, the port or the village from here rather than guess from an address.

Bookings made through this map earn us a commission. Your price is unaffected.

Lefkada is the Ionian island you can drive onto: a short bridge from the mainland leads to white-cliffed west-coast beaches like Porto Katsiki, a calm sailing coast around Nidri and the windsurfing bay of Vasiliki. Ideal for road-trippers.

Zakynthos is two islands in one: a loud southern resort strip around Laganas and a wild north-west of limestone cliffs, sea caves and the famous Navagio cove. Come for the Blue Caves, the turtles of Laganas Bay and the western sunsets.
