offer for everybody. Hikers, mountain- bikers
and holidaymakers interested in culture come here on their
own account. Lefkas (Lefkada) is perfectly suited for
tours by cars, all terrain vehicles and

neighboring islands like Skorpios, Meganissi and Sparti are also

Some tips:
KAP DOUKATO
Southern part of Lefkas (Lefkada).
From here one can admire a wonderful view extending over white cliffs
of the steep west coast. People say that here the Greek poet Sappho
committed suicide because of unrequited love. The today’s lighthouse
stands on the place once occupied by Apollo´s temple.

AGIOS
PATERAS The
monastery Agios Pateras (The Holy Fathers) is situated on the rocks.
It is uninhabited, yet easy to reach. A breathtaking view over a
wonderful landscape is an unforgettable experience.

WATERFALLS OF RACHI
It is a favorite destination of tourists;
particularly impressive, almost paradise-like…

VASSILIKI
One of the most popular places of Lefkas
(Lefkada)which offers everything what our heart desires when on
holiday. In the harbor one can drink coffee or draft beer under
eucalyptus trees and in the evening have a dinner by rocking fishing
boats. The island gives us also many shopping opportunities, either in
big supermarkets or in small shops, with rich offer of souvenirs.
Vassiliki is located only
12 km away from Dragano.

ALEXANDROS
In Alexandros it is worth paying a visit
to Brigitte Roth, a trained physiotherapist, who for many years has
been working with opulent Greek vegetation, esp. medicinal herbs. ‘AROMATIKA
PHYTA’ is an herbal shop with tea, spices and many other
hand-picked herbal products. Brigitte also
offers guided tours in the world of herbs. Such trips are
not only the opportunity to listen to some stories from Greek
mythology, but also give us the chance to find (medicinal) plants in
their natural habitat, to recognize and collect them. One can also
learn about their medicinal benefits and possible applications, which
are both effective and beneficial for our body.

AGIOS ILIAS and
AGIOS DONATOS Although not
the highest, Ag. Ilias (1.036m)
thanks to its location and unforgettable view is one of the most
impressive mountains of Lefkas (Lefkada). On the mountain one can also
find a church named after it.
Agios Donatos is a plain on which a church of the same name is
situated. The landscape around the church is filled with old small
round stables and crop storehouses made out of silver rock.

ATHANI
Athani (neighboring place to Dragano) is
the last village before Cap Doucato, situated high above south coast.
It is an ideal place to relax. Here you can enjoy traditional Greek
cuisine and chat with locals. Thomas Robotis’ tavern offers us a
beautiful view which extends from the terrace over an open sea. Music
and dance performances are carried out evey year for those who are
interested in culture.

KATOHORI
In Katohori purely handmade artistic
products and basic commodities show off the timeless beauty and
elegance of the olive wood from which they are made. Here Herwig and
Ute process olive timber in their small workshop. By all means, the
place is worth visiting… ...
