Agios Ioannis Beach & Windmills
Άγιος Ιωάννης
A long sandy beach west of Lefkada town, lined with old windmills and kitesurfers, the island's signature scene.
The beach stretches from Gyra Lagoon along the shore, with several old stone windmills scattered across the sand. In summer, the steady northwesterly wind of the afternoon makes it a kitesurfing hotspot, and local schools offer lessons and equipment. Mornings are calm and good for swimming, and the windmills silhouetted against the sunset are beautiful. It is about 3 km from Lefkada town, reachable by bike or car, and there are beach bars nearby.
