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.
