Lefkada, the island that enchants……. The bright sun, vivid colours, crystal sea and golden sandy beaches, silver coloured moon and the pure beauty of the untamed natural landscape- these are the features which have sculptured the emerald Greek island Lefkada. Calm and charming from the first moment with the true, genuine, warm Lefkadian smile, it welcomes those who have chosen Lefkada for their destination. Tradition and development go hand in hand, and visitors will enjoy the hospitality, entertainment and adventure. . Lefkada is surrounded by blue waters, with white endless sandy beaches, mostly in the west. The east is dominated by the green Prigiponissia with its picturesque anchorages and its sandy gulfs. The beaches of Kathisma, Porto Katsiki, Egremni, Gyra, Gialos and Agiofylli pose a great problem to visitors. Where should they go first? Lefkada an ecological paradise Pine tree forests cover the mountainous parts of the island, while the fields in the plane are dominated by olive and citrus trees. Over the passing of the centuries the geological formation of the mountain mass has created caves, several of which have significant archaeological value: the Chirospilia in Evgiros and the sea cave of “Papanikoli” in Meganissi. Throughout the island you can meet vast quantities of the herbs oregano and thyme as well as the soothing sage and mint. The crimson “peonio” that chooses to grow only in the mountainous area of Englovi and the small lilies of “Eva Sikelianou” are flowers of exceptional beauty and of great ecological importance. 1 And when the night falls the Lefkadian sky fills with thousands of stars, while the song of the summer crickets fills the silence. Imagine feeling the cool breath of the north west wind blowing on your face and at the same time breathing the special scent of the flowers, listening to the birds’ song and watching the dolphins play in the blue waters….. Lefkada of sports The advantages of the natural environment and the weather conditions of Lefkada favour an alternative kinds of vacation. The safe sea and the several small islands with natural resorts on the eastside of the island offer ideal conditions for sailing, while the modern facilities for anchorage make the place ideal.

He bought the island Scorpios opposite of Nydri, and there he created his personal paradise, which he enjoyed with the Kennedy family, Maria Callas, Churchill and other celebrities. For the same reasons and all that you can discover yourself we have decided to build our villas on Lefkada, the island that enchants….. 3 Villa’s General Our villas are located to the South of the Island close to Syvota. The sheltered anchorage at Syvota makes it a favourite with the boating set and boasts a large number of fish taverns to satisfy their needs. Nestled in a picturesque wooded valley the resort, which has no beach, is much quieter by day than at night, when the sailors come out to play! Vasiliki is a windsurfer’s paradise with a long beach and a harbour full of taverns and shops. Mikros Gialos is popular for sunbathers. Just as you enter the village of Syvota an agricultural track spurs off and contours the hillside above the village. Glimpses of the harbour and the sea below are revealed through the cypresses and olive trees. Follow this track for 2km and then drop down to our villas, where an amazing panoramic view of the sea is revealed.
