Agios Ioannis & Mili
West coast right by the town: a long sandy beach, old windmills and wind for kite and windsurf.
Agios Ioannis, with its area of old windmills, and the long sandy beach that begins just west of Lefkada Town. It is an interesting base for those who want to be on the sea yet minutes from town: the beach is wide and wind-swept, which makes it one of the island's favourite spots for kitesurfing and windsurfing, and the sunsets behind the windmills are among the prettiest in the north. Ideal, then, for those combining water sports, convenience to town and a taste for sand, rather than for those after a picturesque village.
