The whole island is a miracle of nature with quaint, picturesque villages nestling between the mountains. Most of the mountainous areas provide safe shelters for the survival and reproduction of many diverse species (and in many cases, those endangered) of plants, birds and animals. Visitors will enjoy discovering the abundant caves, waterfalls and natural watercourses. The island is known for its beautiful needlework and textiles that are veritable works of art. They are made by traditional weavers, especially women who live in Karia, a small village in Lefkada. The traditional dishes, served in most restaurants and tavernas in the island, are 'bourdeto', 'bianco' codfish, 'fry-pie', 'frugadeli' and a variety of pies. The island of Lefkada’s many beautiful beaches, with the clear, turquoise sea, are popular all over the world. This coastline is considered to be the most beautiful, not only in Greece but in in the whole Mediterranean.

Wąski przesmyk, który został pogłębiony przez Koryncjan w połowie VII wieku p.n.e., oddziela wyspę od Akarnanii. Dostęp do niej jest jednak bardzo łatwy dzięki pływającemu mostowi łączącemu obydwa krańce przesmyku. Lefkada zawdzięcza swoją nazwę przylądkowi o nazwie Lefkatas położonemu na południowym krańcu wyspy. Cypel ten w starożytności nosił nazwę Biała Skała albo Biały Kraniec. LEFKADA Dwadzieścia cztery większe i mniejsze wyspy rozsiane są na morzu w niewielkiej odległości od siebie i składają się na prefekturę Lefkada.

  • A Preliminary Report on the Nov 17, 2015 M=6.4 South Lefkada Earthquake, Ionian Sea, Greece
    A preliminary report on the Nov December 4 17, 2015 M=6.4 South Lefkada 2015 earthquake, Ionian Sea, Greece Athanassios Ganas, Pierre Briole, George Papathanassiou, George Bozionelos, Antonio Avallone, Diego Melgar, Panagiotis Argyrakis, Sotirios Valkaniotis, Evangelos Mendonidis, Alexandra Moshou and Panagiotis Elias A preliminary report on the Nov 17, 2015 M=6.4 South Lefkada earthquake, Ionian Sea, Greece Athanassios Ganas1, Pierre Briole2, George Papathanassiou3, George Bozionelos4, Antonio Avallone5, Diego Melgar6, Panagiotis Argyrakis1, Sotirios Valkaniotis1, Evangelos Mendonidis1, Alexandra Moshou1 and Panagiotis Elias1. 1 National Observatory of Athens, [email protected] 2 Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France, [email protected] 3 Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, [email protected] 4 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, [email protected] 5 INGV, Via di Vigna Murata, 605 00143 Roma Italy, [email protected] 6 University of California, Berkeley Seismological Laboratory [email protected] Abstract The 17th November Mw=6.4 event occurred along a N20±5°E strike-slip fault with right- lateral sense of slip. Relocation of seismicity and preliminary inversion of geodetic data suggests the fault plane dips to east with an angle of about 70±5 degrees. The earthquake caused a lot of structural damage to the villages of Agios Petros, Athani, Dragano and Komilio. Environmental effects include liquefaction, extensive rock falls and landslides. No surface ruptures were found in the field. Road cracks are interpreted as secondary phenomena of gravitational nature induced by ground shaking. Preliminary inversion of geodetic data suggests that the upper part of the fault is offshore very close to the coast, and at very shallow depth (0.5±0.5 km), as constrained by the azimuth and amplitude of the motion at NOA GPS stations PONT (36 cm offset to the south) and SPAN.

  • The West Coast of Greece and the Ionian Sea
    “He likes to enjoy the sea from up here. How much wider it is, that much more it steals the heart. So much that your mind chokes.” Aristotelis Valaoritis Welcome to the west coast of Greece and the Ionian sea Crystal clear waters and pure natural beauty are the symbols of the Ionian Sea. The sea was named after Io who, according to Greek mythology, was a priestess of the goddess Hera. Io had an affair with Zeus, king of the gods, and Hera’s husband. When Hera learned of the affair she transformed Io into a cow. Io fled around Europe trying to escape Hera’s wrath. Finally, Io plunged into the sea, which was named Ionian, after her. MAP OF EUROPE MAP OF PALEROS MUNICIPALITY MAP OF GREECE Welcome to Paleros Paleros, a picturesque town located on the west coast of mainland Greece, is evocatively situated in a breathtaking backdrop of beautiful and serene vistas and the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. Olive trees, vineyards and pine trees extend down to the spectacular sandy beaches. Beachfront bars, restaurants and cafes are within walking distance. Ancient Paleros is a place of unrivalled beauty and grace, situated high in the mountains overlooking the Ionian sea and Vourkaria lake. The city had a population of over 10,000 people and was the location of one of the most important battles of antiquity. At nearby Aktio, Antony and Cleopatra were defeated in a sea battle by Octavius, who built the city of Nikopolis to commemorate his victory and moved the population of Paleros to his new city in 31 B.C.

    1st International Conference on Natural Hazards & Infrastructure 28-30 June, 2016, Chania, Greece Τhe November 2015 Mw6.4 earthquake effects in Lefkas Island D. Kazantzidou-Firtinidou1,3, I. Kassaras1, S. Tonna2, A. Ganas3, E. Vintzileou4, C. Chesi2 1Laboratory of Seismology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece; 2Politecnico di Milano, A.B.C. Dep., Milan, Italy; 3Institute of Geodynamics, National Observatory of Athens, 11810 Athens, Greece; 4Laboratory of Concrete Structures, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece ABSTRACT This work describes the outcome of two field surveys in Lefkada Island, after the 17.11.2015 earthquake of Mw6.4 at its southwestern peninsula. Geo-environmental effects were observed throughout the western flanks of the mountain massif, parallel to the activated fault. Structural damage was mainly observed in the epicentral area where macroseismic intensity was assessed as VIII, based on registered damage and assumed vulnerability per building typology. Both modern and traditional buildings exhibited notable seismic performance. The distribution of the damage per building category present in the affected area is presented, based on site surveys and post-seismic usability characterization by the local Earthquake Rehabilitation Organization. The survey highlights the frequent presence of the so-called “pontelo” dual system at both ground floor and two-story stone masonry buildings at the western mountain villages. This structural type, unique within the Greek territory, revealed

Along with Evia, these are the only Greek islands that visitors do not need ferry to go, as they are easily accessible by road. The mountainous island of Lefkada is mainly covered with dense and verdant vegetation. This vegetation surrounds lovely waterfalls, traditional villages and many paths to hike. Nine satellite islands surround Lefkada, including the beautiful islands of Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Madouri and Skorpios. Among these, Skorpios is the most famous as it was the private island of the Greek ship owner Aristotelis Onassis. Some of the most famous people ever have stepped foot on this lovely island, including Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy.
