Lefkada Town
Πόλη της Λευκάδας
The capital at the island's northern tip. Colorful sheet-metal-clad earthquake-resistant houses and Venetian-style churches line the pedestrian street.
Because of repeated earthquakes, the older houses of the town have stone lower floors and upper floors built with timber frames clad in colorful sheet metal, creating a distinctive streetscape. The main pedestrian street, Ioannou Mela, is lined with small churches, cafés, and shops. The seafront yacht harbor is pleasant for a stroll. In late August, the International Folklore Festival features dance troupes from around the world. The town connects to the mainland by a floating bridge, and it is about 25 minutes' drive from Preveza Airport.
