Cape Lefkata Lighthouse

About

Lefkada's south-west tip, where legend says the poet Sappho threw herself from the cliff for love. The road is long and winding and from afar seems never to end, but it's easier than it looks, and once there the white cliff plunging into the open sea repays the petrol and the time. A short, striking stop, perfect on the way back from the south-west beaches, especially towards sunset.
