Municipal Unit of Lefkada: Vasiliki Lefkada - Lefkada
Among the Ionian Islands, Vasiliki stands out for its sheltered harbour beneath Lefkada’s southern hills. The settlement lies on Vasiliki Bay beside the Ionian Sea, where a waterfront, yacht berths and ferry quay meet steep slopes covered with olive groves. Vasiliki is an important southern port of Lefkada, maintaining sea connections with other Ionian destinations. Roads from the coast climb into a rural interior of scattered hillside settlements and cultivated land. Lentils from the mountain village of Englouvi are among Lefkada’s traditional products, while the island itself is linked to mainland Greece by a narrow causeway near Lefkada town.

Municipal Unit of Lefkada lies along the Ionian Sea coast of Lefkada Island, where the low northern plain rises toward olive-covered hills and a rugged interior. It includes Lefkada Town, the island’s administrative centre, beside the narrow channel that separates Lefkada from mainland Greece. A causeway and swing bridge create a direct road link to Aetolia-Acarnania, an unusual feature among the Ionian Islands. Lefkada Town also preserves a building tradition shaped by earthquakes, with lightweight timber-framed upper structures and corrugated-metal cladding adopted for greater resilience.
