The west coast has dramatic hillsides, cliffs and long sand/shingle beaches. The village of Tsoukalades near to the villa is on the north west coast within easy reach of excellent beaches including Pefkoulia, Agios Nikitas, Milos and Kathisma. All are easily accessible by car along the scenic coastal road which passes through the Tsoukalades.
Lefkas Town

The High Street runs through the centre of town and is also known as the ‘Pazari’, this is the main street for shopping and cafes. A mid-morning coffee in the square is ideal for a break and a perfect opportunity to see the Lefkadians in action. It is lovely to walk around the back streets of the town where you are also more likely to see the typical Lefkadian houses wrapped in brightly painted corrugated iron.

Exploring by motorboat
Taking a motorboat out can open up a realm of uninhabited beaches and coves. We can arrange motorboat hire for you if you wish to discover the surrounding coastline. The motorboat can be moored in either Nidri (15 mins drive) or at Sivota (10mins drive). Boat price includes map of the boating area, buoyancy aids, flares, oars and anchors plus delivery and pick-up. Detailed instructions will also be given for operation and mooring and a full local back-up service is provided. There are many small deserted coves on the coast and excellent snorkelling areas where you can enjoy the local marine life such as Sea Urchins, Sea cucumbers, Hermit Crabs, Red Star Fish and when overturning stones or rocks perhaps you will be lucky to find a Brittle Starfish or even an Octopus
