Meganissi

Nestled off Southern Lefkas, the island of Meganissi is an intoxicating blend of stupendous scenery, enchanting beaches and the timeless Greek lifestyle. Days here are spent pottering around quiet villages, sunning and swimming in secluded coves, wandering through olive groves and feasting on mezes, all accompanied by a glorious slideshow of lush hills and glittering seas.

Vathi is a lovely little harbour village in a sheltered bay – apart from the ferries from neighbouring Lefkas, life here remains delightfully sedate.  Tavernas line the waterfront – perfect for watching the world go by. Even quieter are tiny Spartochori with is alleyways, shops and a few tavernas, and the island capital Katomeri which is the epitome of sleepy Greek villages.

Holidays on Meganissi revolve around the outdoors.  As well as the beaches at Ambelaki and Fanari, there are other secluded coves.  The best way to explore is to hire a small boat and explore the coastline or even take a trip to neighbouring Lefkas or even Kefalonia.  Alternatively, simply take in the views, and relax.
