Nikiana Village
Lefkas (Lefkada)

Nikiana is a village and harbour on the East coast of Lefkas, about nine kilometres South of Lefkas Town. The village is spread out along the coast road and sea front, and up into the green hills nearby.

Nikiana offers quiet, relaxing holidays with friendly local bars and restaurants and gently shelving beaches with crystal clear water. Its location makes it a good base for those who want to combine relaxation with occasional touring of the island.

Eating and Drinking - There are a few bars, cafes and restaurants along the main street, as well as a few minimarkets. The waterfront tavernas are a nice place to have an evening meal at sunset as the mountains on the mainland turn red. The harbour is a good place to sit and watch the local fishermen bring in their catch, and observe the yachts coming and going.

Beaches and Things To Do - There are several nice pebble beaches nearby, and it is usually quite quiet except in the middle of the summer. The surrounding area is green, with olive and cypress covered foothills backed by the higher mountains of Lefkas. Walk into the foothills for fine views of the East coast or drive over the mountains to the spectacular West Coast.

Exploring - Nikiana is in a good position for exploring. The local bus service will take you to Lefkas Town for shopping. Hire a car and take a drive over the mountains, through spectacular scenery, to the beaches of the West Coast. Or drive along the East and South coasts to Vassiliki to watch the windsurfers displaying their skills. Best to book your car in advance as there are not many rental agencies in the village.
