Ligia Resort

Near the island capital, you will find a charming and peaceful resort called Ligia, perfect for those searching for complete rest and relaxation. In the glare of the Greek sun and far away from busy and overcrowded resorts, Ligia is located on the east coast, preserving its original character of a fishing village with a small port despite the ocntinuing modernization and commercionalization. Although Ligia is a rather small settlement or a village, it can offer everything you might need, if you are looking for silence, disturbed maybe only by the sploshing of sea waves. There are a few hotel facilities, little houses of the locals, tavernas and small shops, and only one main street.

Ligia beaches

The local beach is covered with sand and pebbles and it is washed by crystal clear water. There is a bar with refreshment nearby, otherwise the beach is almost untouched and never overcrowded. Along the coast, you can observe other small bays providing complete privacy. Thanks to the clear and clean water, you will really enjoy swimming there or diving into the sea depths to sea some of the beauties of the undersea life.

What to do in Ligia?

You should definitely not overlook fish and seafood specialities on the menu of the local tavernas and restaurants. Yet lamb meat, traditional cheese, sauces, salads and wine are delicious, too. Obviously you will also find there fastfood restaurants with gyros. After a tasty meal, you can go on a walk to the hills and slopes, pine forests and olive groves outside the town.

Nights in Ligia are really peaceful. As the resort is suitable for families with children and elderly couples, don´t expect any huge discos or hilarious beach parties. If you miss more lively entertainment though, take a bus or a taxi to the capital. Lefkada is located almost in the immediate vicinity with the Greek mainland, and thus inviting to make more trips.
