About Vafkeri
Vafkeri is a settlement in the Lefkada regional unit. The island measures 35 km from north to south and 15 km from east to west, and is joined to the mainland by a long causeway and floating bridge. The homes are fairly close together and mostly built for two to four people, nearly all with a pool and most with a garden. Nidri, the largest resort on the island, sits in a sheltered spot on the east coast with views across to Skorpios and Meganisi. Porto Katsiki, the island's famous beach, is on the west coast, and Vasiliki, a windsurfing centre, lies 20 km south of Nidri. The town of Lefkada is in the north of the island. Check each home's map position before you book, so you know which coast is nearer.

Getting to Vafkeri

When to go to Vafkeri
Lefkada has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and cool winters. Summer is the season for sea swimming and for using the villa pool every day. Spring and autumn are milder, which suits driving round the island, but check restaurant opening times before an off-season visit. Book early for summer if you need one of the few larger homes.
