Lygia Lefkas

LYGIA Lefkas is a small fishing village found on the east coast of Lefkas and located just 5km to the south of Lefkas Town. The focus of the village is the long harbour where much of Lefkas island's fresh fish arrives each morning.
Lygia village is little more than a single street with a few tavernas and picturesque houses along it, most of them built in traditional stone. Lygia has several cafes and bars and also two minimarkets, a bakery and two petrol stations.
Lygia is a very quiet and relaxing place to stay. There are some good fish tavernas along Lygia harbour front, with views across to mainland Greece. There is a long pebble and sand beach with a narrow shoreline. Lygia beach is pleasant enough but rather exposed and with little natural shade.
There are good walks to be had in the hills surrounding Lygis and a strip of narrow beaches and small coves to the south if you care to venture around the headland.
The area surrounding Lygia is very beautiful, with many fine walks through cypress forest and olive groves.
