Porto Katsiki is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. It is located in the southwest part of the island of Lefkada, about 60Km from the town of Lefkas. Getting there is interesting. Half of the way the road is good although there are lots of turns and several hills (more like mountains) to climb. The other half of the way the road becomes narrow, very narrow. It's a single lane road, not a single lane in each direction, one single lane for both directions. For the most part, opposite moving cars can squeeze by if the drivers are careful but at some points there's simply not enough room, one of the cars will have to back up.

It takes about one hour to reach Porto Katsiki. Once you get there you will be rewarded with beautiful vistas, and a nice beach where you can spend the day. There are a few taverns and snack bars right before you climb down the 101 steps to the beach. There are umbrellas and lounge chairs for rent at the beach.

Unspoiled, uncrowded Pefkoulia Beach is only a 20-minute drive from the town of Lefkas. Lots os shade under the trees to escape the scortching midday sun while a couple of taverns at the southern end of the beach provide reasonably priced nourishment, frappe (iced coffe) and other essentials (i.e. ouzo, wine, beer, etc.)

The beach is facing to the west and offers some amazing sunset vistas. Freestyle camping is allowed right on the beach and most people pitch their tents under the trees. Camping here is free, but there are no facilities, you have to use the taverns' if you're shy. Topless bathing is the norm for the ladies while at the northern end of the beach nude bathing is not uncommon.
