Greece, Island Lefkada, Agios Nikitas


Lefkada is one of the Ionian islands connected to the mainland by bridge so you can get there by car. We went to a village called Agios Nikitas twice. The first time we stayed in the village directly which we do not recommend (too loud and busy). Second time, we discovered the Myrto Apartements located high above the village on the hill. You can drive up there by car and there is also a path from the village if you want to hike. The place is totally peacefull and has a beautifull view. There are apartments with kitchen and balcony (air conditioned), parents have bedroom, kids sleep in the main room. The whole building has about 10 apartments total and when we went there it was not crowded at all, in fact we were the only ones using the pool. The reason why we liked Agios Nikitas is a beach called Milos, a beatifull uncrowded stretch of pebble beach 1,5 km long without access (either water taxi or climb accross a mountain). The hike to the beach is not easy (you literally climb down on rocks) but it is totally worth is. Our kids did it age 2 and 4.
