Municipal Unit of Lefkada
Lefkada occupies a low coastal plain on the northeastern shore of Lefkada Island in Greece’s Ionian region. Agios Ioannis Beach runs along this open Ionian Sea coast, a broad strip of pale sand and shallow blue water just west of Lefkada Town. Its exposed shoreline has made the area a recognised base for kitesurfing, while the beach remains close to the island’s administrative centre and harbour. Lefkada differs from most Ionian islands in being linked to mainland Greece by a narrow causeway. At the island’s northern entrance, the medieval Castle of Agia Mavra stands beside the Lefkada Lagoon, recalling the strategic channel that separates the island from the mainland.

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.

The terrain of Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian ranges from the low coastal plains of western Peloponnese to the Pindus mountain country in the north, creating a region of strong contrasts between shore and interior. The Ionian Sea defines its western edge, alongside islands including Corfu, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Lefkada, while the Alpheios River runs through Elis towards the coast.
