<strong>Lefkada</strong> is a<br />

place with a<br />

rich and<br />

unadulterated<br />

folk tradition.<br />

In this photo<br />

you see a<br />

woman<br />

weaving with a<br />

loom.<br />

Starting in the city, you can take the road that leads to<br />

the eastern and southern coast of the island. On the<br />

way you will cross the village of Kalligoni, where the<br />

ruins of the ancient Nirikos or <strong>Lefkada</strong> were found<br />

(2nd millennium B.C), one of the largest in size<br />

ancient Greek cities. Next, you will encounter<br />

Nikiana, a popular holiday destination, the coastal<br />

settlement of Perigialli and finally Nydri, a busy<br />

summer resort situated in the “entrance” of the lovely<br />

bay of Vlychos. Nydri is one of the most developed<br />

villages on the island, in terms of tourism, with<br />

wonderful beaches and a marvellous view to the small<br />

islands (“Prigkiponisia”- Prince Islands) that lie across<br />

it: Sparta, Skorpidi, Madouri, where the villa of the<br />

poet Aristotelis Valaoritis is located and the private<br />

island of Aristotelis Onasis, the legendary Skorpios.<br />

According to the German archeologist W. Dorpfeld,<br />

who performed excavations in the region, it is<br />

possible that here was Homeric Ithaca, as the remains<br />

of a prehistoric city have been found in Nydri.<br />

International Jet Ski competitions are organized<br />

every year in Nydri and there are ferries to the Prince<br />
