Meganissi - Tiny, spectacular and unspoiled
Meganissi is a spectacular tiny island very close to Lefkada. It is very green, with crystal clear waters, simple, ideal for romance, honeymooners or for those who wish to get away from it all. The hospitable people, the peaceful way of living, the interchange of the scenery, makes it an ideal place for relaxed vacation.
Several tracks lead over the hills of the island and down through the olive-grove terracing to secluded bays. The most popular of them is Ambelakia which attracts yatch flotillas.
There are interesting and beautiful caves, Papanikolis is one of them, named after submarine sheltered during World War II.
