Leúcade, turquoise jewel of the Ionian, awaits travelers



The Greek island of Leúcade, in the Ionian, combines electric blue waters, green-washed mountains and some of the country's most famous beaches. This year, with only one registered case of coronavirus so far, he sees his landscapes, hotels and restaurants practically empty.

Porto Katsiki, one of the main attractions of the island that is usually found on the lists of the best beaches in Europe, shows an unusual image these days. Its dramatic white cliffs, usually complemented by hundreds of umbrellas of all colors, provide shelter for just dozens of people who sunbathe and a ship that calls.

Léucade or Lefkada in Greek (a name that could come precisely from the whiteness of its untamed cliffs) is one of the most accessible islands in the country, as it is connected to the Acarnania coast by a floating bridge and can be reached by car, without need for ferries or planes.

Due to its mountains, the center of the island is occupied by villages, small towns and monasteries and it is the coasts that are home to the most important populations.EFE/TRAVEL FILMS
