It is not by chance that from very early on Greek mythology associated Lefkada with stories about life, love and death. On the cape of Lefkata, the ancient name of which was “ Lefkas petra” or “Lefkas akra” ( “ white edge” ) the travelling sailors would come face-to-face with the beauty of nature. Lefkada blends the light of love, wild beauty and greatness. This is why they called the island lefki, “ white ”, because its beauty is raw, pure. so its not surprising that some of the most beautiful white sand beaches can be found on Lefkada.
