If you value peace, quiet and picture postcard locations, then a Lefkas holiday could be your perfect choice. Furthermore a villa holiday in Lefkas really can give you the freedom you need to forget the stresses and strains of everyday life. Lefkas is linked to the mainland via a causeway, but driving across the island to reach your private villa you will be amazed by the sheer beauty surrounding. Fragrant pine-clad hills roll down to the coast, where the clarity of the waters is hard to believe.

Many James Villas are blessed with amazing outlooks, which are hard to escape on Lefkas. Popular with Greek, Italian and English holiday-makers alike, Lefkas’ main resort of Nidri offers a fine selection of restaurants sure to tempt you away from your villa for the evening. Whilst the nightlife remains low-key across the island, head to Lefkas Town where the locals happily socialise alongside those enjoying a holiday, alternatively, for Greek authenticity try a James Villa in the traditional Lefkas fishing village of Lygia, where a fish supper can be enjoyed at the pretty harbour.

Many guests choose to hire a car to really make the most of their villa holiday, however a regular bus service does operate over the island, which will take you to the super beach at Kathisma where sunloungers and parasols are available for your convenience. Or to Porto Katsiki, be prepared for the steps down, but the view when at the top of the dramatic cliff which surrounds the bay is revered, not only by those who love to holiday on Lefkas but those who live there too.

Whilst the hotels are traditional and low-rise, we at James firmly believe the only way to really experience Lefkas is from a villa, only then can your holiday be filled with the freedom, beauty and authenticity that this Ionian gem has to offer.
