Lygia (Ligia) Village, Lefkas (Levkas) Lygia (also known as Ligia) is a charming fishing village situated on the East coast
of Lefkas (Lefkada), only about
five kilometres south of Lefkas Town. Life here is slow and
stress-free. The centre point of the village is it's little harbour
where much of the Island's fresh fish arrives every day.
Lygia (Ligia) village consists of one main street with a few tavernas, cafes and
bars. A couple of minimarkets, a bakery and two petrol stations add to
the selection of places in which to spend your money.
This is a very relaxing place to stay. The eating is good - you can
sit for hours at one of the harbour front tavernas eating a plate of
Gavros (small fried fish) with a Greek salad and a basket of fresh
crusty Greek bread, enjoying the breeze off the sea and
the views across to the Castle of Saint George on the mainland. |

The surrounding area is beautiful, with nice walks into the
surrounding hills covered in Olive and Cypress trees.
The small pebble beaches nearby are usually quiet except for the peak
season. Lygia is a good place to stay to explore the West Coast of
Lefkas (Lefkada) with it's spectacular scenery and beaches. The mainland
is straight across the sea, or a 15 minute drive via Lefkas Town.. To do this it is best to book a car in advance as there are not many
rental companies in the village.
