#36 IN THE WORLD

ICONIC BEAUTY IN THE IONIAN ISLANDS

Porto Katsiki stands out not only for the beach itself but also for the incredible surroundings that frame it. Located on Lefkada Island in Greece, the beach is backed by massive, rugged limestone cliffs, often covered with classic Mediterranean vegetation. It’s one of the few places on the island where you can experience the unique pleasure of smelling the scent of white thyme mixed with the salty sea air. The beach consists of small white pebbles, and the waters are incredibly turquoise and clear. Known for its more challenging access, most visitors come here to feel closer to nature and enjoy a tranquil escape, away from busy beach bars and roads, offering a peaceful European beach experience.
