6. Wilderness camping                                                                                       

The Lefkada Island has numerous hotels, apartments and camping places, but we also love the fact it still offers lots of areas, where you can do wilderness camping. Stop with your car, pitch a tent and enjoy a starry sky on the beach. Can it get any better than this? Definitely a great place for all the adventerous souls.

8. Family friendly

Almost all the beaches at Lefkada Island have small pebbles and are ideal for families with small children. There is just one warning – the water gets pretty deep very fast, what could be a downsize, even more if there are waves, but I guess you never really can get everything you want.
