Municipal Unit of Lefkada: TheaTHalatta Villas - Tsoukalades beach
Lefkada combines an island setting with unusually easy mainland access in a way that reflects its position beside the Ionian Sea. The island is separated from western Greece by a narrow channel and connected by a causeway and movable bridge, making the waterfront near Lefkada Town part of the route between the mainland and the Ionian Islands. Tsoukalades occupies Lefkada’s western uplands, where olive groves and low-rise homes lead down towards the coast. The municipality also includes the Lefkada Lagoon, a wetland at the island’s northern end. Near the channel, the Frankish fortress of Agia Mavra, founded in the early 14th century, remains a defining landmark at the approach to 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.
