The last stand of truly ancient Greece

Although visitors usually choose one of the most popular destinations when they decide to visit the Aegean Sea – Crete or Rhodes – the actual heart of the archipelago, the paradise of voyagers, the essence what an old-fashioned Greece has to offer, the last stand of real, classic sailing is, undoubtedly, the Lefkas Island. Also know as Lefkada, it is situated in the close proximity to the Greek mainland, exactly halfway between quite popular holiday destination, namely the Corfu Island, and the famous Peloponnesian peninsula. It is not surrounded by islands though. Its western cost faces the open tides of the Ionian Sea. All these factors make Lefkada the best bet for all enthusiasts of sailing. Is its geography the only reason why this region is billed as excellent for boat charters centre? Not in the slightest.

It is not only the diverse neighbourhood that makes Lefkas so unique among numerous Greek isles; it has a lot to offer itself. The inhabitants of the island make sure that the place maintains its natural spirit. Time runs differently there, some say that it does not run at all. Quiet port villages, beaches uncontaminated by masses of tourists, immaculate coastline sculptured by the nature only create the atmosphere of the Lefkas region, truly Mediterranean, relaxing and peaceful. The way one perceives the island may be enriched by the ancient stories connected to it. According to the findings of archaeologists excavating on the island, it is quite likely that Lefkada is in fact a famous isle from Homer’s works, Ithaca, the home to Odysseus. It is also where a classic poet, Sappho is said to have committed suicide.

All these combined create a picture of a mysterious haven, whose inhabitants, blind to the everyday hustle and bustle, lead simple, happy lives, revelling in what world has brought them with this almost phantasmagorical, unique place. It is remarkable that areas like this have survived the changes that have taken place worldwide in the last several decades.

Obviously, it does not mean that it is completely deprived of the facilities that civilisation gives. Be that as it may, it does not take a herculean effort to get there!
