Aghios Nikitas, Lefkas
(Leucada) |
Map of
Aghios Nikitas
This beautiful village is situated on the North West coast of Lefkas (see
map), 12 km from Lefkas Town. It is the only village at sea level along the
West Coast, because the coastline is so rugged and steep.
The village consists of one main street down to the sea. There are many
restaurants and tavernas, and small minimarkets and souvenir shops, along
the main street. There is some parking at the top of the street, but most of
the street is pedestrian only. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare and if
you can find a place in one of the car parks it is worth paying The village
is very busy during July and August, but can be very quiet outside of the
main season.
The surrounding area is beautiful, with steep hills and valleys covered in
olive and pine trees leading down to beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea
water. After a storm the white limestone sand is washed up into the sea,
turning the water into striking patterned shades of light and dark blue - a
photographer's dream.
The village is close to several superb beaches. It has it's own small
village beach. To the North is Pefkoulia Beach (also known as Agios Nikitas
Beach), which can be easily reached along the main road to Lefkas Town. Here
you will find two tavernas and a few simple rooms for rent. To the South of
the village is Mylos Beach, named after the ruined mill on the headland
overlooking it. There are three ways to reach it. The difficult way is to
follow the path over the headland from the village. The path starts behind
the Mylos Taverna on the main street, and takes about 20 minutes. It can be
very rough and even dangerous in places, so be careful! The easy way, in the
middle of the summer, is to take the taxi boat from the village beach. The
price is a couple of Euros each way. The beach itself is one of the best on the Island, is quiet for most
of the summer, and clothing restrictions are 'relaxed'.
