NIDRI
(the jewel on the crown of Lefkada)
Set in a small bay on the east side of Lefkas Island, Nydri nestles at the foot of the pine clad mountains looking out over the ‘princess islands’ of the bay. This paradisiacal village of two-thousand inhabitants is the most developed of the island’s resorts. Rows of boats of all shapes and sizes tied along the waterfront running parallel with the tavernas, restaurants and cafes that line the harbour all the way along.
Whilst the village’s main street is lined with gift shops selling everything from home crafts to souvenirs. ‘THE PRINCESS ISLANDS’ Nydri is the gateway to the wonderful unspoilt islands in the Ionian and these are the known as Princess Islands – Scorpios, Skorpidi, Sparti, Madouri, Thilia, Heloni, Kythros, Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, who each have their own magic with their stiff cliffs, their hidden shores, golden beaches and for which provide the most impressive views. With the mountain behind you, the islands of Skoprios, owned by the Onassis family, Skorpidi owned by Livanos family and Madouri owned by the famous poet Aristotelis Valaoristis and the green peninsula of Agia Kyriaki will take your breath away.
