How to get to Lefkada

Lefkada is one of the Ionian Islands located on the northwest coast of Greece. To the North you can find Corfù, Paxos and Antipaxos Islands. To the south Cefalonia, Itaca and Zakynthos. Although it is an island, Lefkada is only 50 meters away from Greece mainland and is connected to it by a swing-bridge. That makes Lefkada the only Ionian Island that can be reach by car through the mainland without needing to take a ferry.
