This beach is absolutely stunning with its serene atmosphere and stunning shades of blue in the sea. The Gaidaros Canteen is a great spot to grab a drink and take in the views. What's even better is that it's easily accessible and not too crowded, even during peak season. Plus, there are plenty of tents available for those looking to camp out.

Arguably the most magnificent beach in Lefkada, albeit with a challenging road to navigate. The path leading to the beach is quite narrow and can be quite a hassle to maneuver a car. This beach is a naturist haven all year round, with nudist families and children frequenting the area. The sand is exquisite, and the small pebbles add to its charm. The entrance to the water is gentle and inviting. During peak season, some visitors who prefer to wear clothing may visit, but their numbers are minimal.

The spot is fantastic and stands out from other beaches on the island due to its peaceful atmosphere. The food and drinks are all excellent and reasonably priced. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling, and the beach is made up of small pebbles, so it's ideal to wear water shoes. The beach bar has a relaxed and chill atmosphere, and there is a great selection of music that is not intrusive. Plus, the beach is easily accessible with free parking and free sun beds, making it a great choice for a day out. I highly recommend this beach!

This beach is an absolute gem with crystal clear waters and it happens to be our top pick. It's the perfect spot for camping and those who enjoy the naturist lifestyle. Accessible by foot from Kathisma beach, it's a must-visit destination.
