Tucked away in the azure waters of the #Ionian Sea, Meganisi is a tranquil #oasis that epitomizes the allure of Greek island life. It lies immediately to the east of the island of #Lefkada, in the Ionian Sea. It has a population of 926 inhabitants and it is easily accessible by regular ferry boat from Lefkada’s #Nydri port (transit time 45 minutes), while the nearest International #Airport is #Aktion, a 40 minutes drive up to Nidri.
Meganisi offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the mainland, with its secluded coves, pristine beaches, #iconic views and charming villages.
Your first impression from the island will be the port of #Spilia, that enchants visitors with its tranquil ambiance and breathtaking scenery. Next to it, nestled within a picturesque cove, Porto Spilia #Beach is famous for the clear turquoise waters and is perfect for snorkeling. A beachfront taverna offers refreshments and local delicacies.
Above the port, #Spartochori is perched on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea. In this traditional #Greek village you may smell its authenticity. Wander through its narrow cobblestone streets, adorned with colorful bougainvillea and traditional houses. Stop by local cafes and tavernas to savor authentic Greek cuisine.
#Vathi is a cute little coastal village on the northeast coast of Meganisi. It provides good shelter from the prevailing winds, making it a popular mooring spot for yachts and other sailing boats, as it features a modern marina. The small fishing village has developed into a tourist resort with cafes and taverns lined up along the waterfront, ideal for relaxation and nice walks.
#Katomeri is one of the three villages in Meganisi and it serves as the #capital of the island and its administrative center. Located on a hilltop, offers panoramic views of the bay. A picturesque little village with traditional stone houses, decorated with colorful flowers and some narrow #alleys. The surrounding area is covered by olive groves and most of the #inhabitants are engaged in agriculture.
Embark on a boat excursion to #Papanikolis #Cave, named after a Greek #submarine that sought refuge here during World War II. This impressive sea cave is adorned with stalactites and stalagmites, and its #emerald waters offer excellent visibility for snorkeling and #swimming. Learn about the cave's fascinating history and marvel at its natural beauty.
Located on the northwest coast of Meganisi, Agios Ioannis Beach is a secluded gem accessible by boat or a short hike. The beach boasts crystalline waters and soft golden sands, making it an idyllic spot for swimming and sunbathing.
