Lefkada
An Island between Mainland and Sea
Lefkada is defined by contrast — dramatic white cliffs descending into turquoise waters, mountain roads leading to hidden coves, and villages perched above the Ionian horizon.
Directly connected to mainland Greece by bridge, the island offers rare accessibility while remaining distinctly unspoiled. Known for iconic beaches such as Porto Katsiki, Egremni, and Kathisma, Lefkada combines striking natural beauty with an authenticity that remains intact.
Beyond its coastline, the island reveals olive groves, sailing routes, traditional tavernas, and inland villages where local life continues at its own rhythm.
Lefkada is expansive, elemental, and quietly powerful.
Sivota
The Ionian’s Hidden Harbor
On the southeastern coast, Sivota offers a more intimate expression of the island. A naturally protected harbor lined with sailboats and waterfront dining creates an atmosphere that feels relaxed yet refined.
By day, the village moves gently. By evening, soft light and quiet conversation animate the harbor promenade.
Located five minutes from Sivota, Iris Villas Lefkada enjoys an elevated, private position above the Ionian — close enough to the village’s character, yet entirely secluded.
To enrich your stay, we provide a curated recommendation guide featuring selected local tavernas, hidden beaches, boat routes, and island insights — allowing you to experience Lefkada beyond the obvious, at your own pace.
Access
Lefkada is the most easily reached island in the Ionian Sea, uniquely connected to mainland Greece by a floating bridge. The island is served by Aktion National Airport (PVK), located approximately 50 minutes from the villas, while Athens International Airport (ATH) is about a four-hour drive away. Private transfers to the villas can be arranged upon request to ensure a smooth and comfortable arrival. For exploring the island’s beautiful landscapes and hidden beaches, the use of a private car is recommended. Guests arriving by sea will also appreciate the naturally protected harbor of Sivota, which offers convenient access for private vessels and yachts.
