Porto Katsiki

Today's pick

Porto Katsiki

Lefkada's signature beach, and you see why at once. A crescent of pale pebbles below a sheer white cliff, with water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue. You park easily up top and walk down about a hundred steps. As the island's most famous beach it fills up fast, so arrive early and, if it gets too crowded by midday, consider moving on to Gialos. At the top there are two or three kiosks selling food and beach gear, but services on the sand are limited, so bring water and shade.
