olive grove that surrounds it and has been declared<br />
monument of unique natural beauty.<br />
The city features important religious monuments (such as the<br />
churches of Aghios Minas, Aghios Nikolaos, Christos<br />
Pantokratoras, etc, all built during the 16th and 17th century),<br />
a fascinating Archeological Museum and the Museum of<br />
Phonographs - Old Remembrances with a rich collection of<br />
romantic <strong>Lefkada</strong> souvenirs, such as antique phonographs,<br />
decorative items, old coins, ect. The most famous monument<br />
of <strong>Lefkada</strong>, however, is the Castle of Aghia Mavra, built in<br />
1300 by the Sicilian G. Orsini on the islet of the lagoon (which<br />
is also an important wetland) and was later modified by the<br />
Venetian and Turkish settlers. Near the city lie the Monastery<br />
of Panaghia Faneromeni (1634), which is also the most<br />
famous pilgrimage site of the island, the Monastery of<br />
Theotokos Odigitria (1450), which is the oldest monastery on<br />
the island, and the church of Ai Yiannis Atzousis, where,<br />
according to tradition, Apostle Paul preached Christianity.<br />
The best beaches to swim in <strong>Lefkada</strong> are the ones of Gira and<br />
Aghios Ioannis. The island also has one of the most modern<br />
marinas in the Mediterranean, featuring 500 berths for those<br />
who have a boat.
