Today, Lefkada is a cultural hub, celebrating its heritage through festivals like the Lefkada Music Festival and the Lefkada Wine Festival. The city's vibrant artistic scene is reflected in its many galleries and museums, showcasing the work of local artists and artisans.

Principali attrazioni a Lefkada
💡 The clock tower is free to climb (spiral stairs) and gives a decent view of the town and lagoon. Best at sunset. The nearby bakery sells decent kourkoubinia (fried dough balls) for €2.
💡 Free entrance every first Sunday of the month. It takes about 40 minutes to see everything. The attendant can sometimes give a quick tour if you ask in Greek.
💡 Go late afternoon for good light on the church interior and fewer visitors. The walk up from the main road takes about 20 minutes.
💡 Better than the more famous Porto Katsiki if you want peace – it's rarely packed. There's a small seasonal kiosk for drinks and snacks in July and August, but bring water.
💡 Wear sturdy sandals or trainers – the path is slippery after rain. Go early to avoid the midday crowds. Bring a torch if you want to explore the small cave behind the main fall.
