Its centre is full of colourful buildings, stone streets, and quaint food stalls and shops, making it a popular tourist spot. You won't have any trouble finding your way around, as it is a relatively small village and all the landmarks you want to see in the centre are within easy reach of each other.

Alternatively, if you prefer, you can also use a ferry service. Once you get here you won't have any issues getting from one place to another either, as the transport system in Lefkada is quite efficient, for example, its public bus lines. Although the latter is the cheapest option, you will also find other common services such as taxis and vehicle rentals like cars and motorbikes.
