INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEFKAS AREA
The fourth largest island in the Ionian, Lefkas has around 22,000 inhabitants, is 34 km long and 15km wide, with amazing landscape; beautiful white sandy beaches, hills covered with olive trees, cypresses and pine, small traditional hidden villages and friendly people. It is no surprise that Lefkas attracts hundreds of yacht owners and charters alike potentially looking to buy or sell yachts in Greece.
Joined to the mainland by a narrow isthumus until the occupying Corinthians dug a canal around the 7th century BC, its 25m strait is spanned from the mainland by a causeway with lifting bridge. This provides easy yacht access to the excellent marina and on through the Lefkas canal to superb yacht cruising grounds, Lefkada's ten satellite islets (Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Madouri, Skorpios, Skorpidi, Sparti, Thilia, Petalou and Kythros ), the Southern Ionian Islands, and beyond. Wonderful sailing with ideal yacht havens.
Lefkas town is the island's capital and primarily a yacht port with extensive facilities and a thriving marine community offering all manner of yachts for sale or charter. The newly expanded marina contains numerous yacht service providers and includes brokerage, hard standing for keeping yachts ashore for sale in Greece, refurbishment or storage, and is suitably equipped for Blue Water cruising yachts.
The range of services available has made the Lefkas Marina a key facility for boat sales, repairs, and refurbishment not just for the Lefkas and the Ionian, but for Greece as a whole. It is an ideal transit location for live aboard yachts and many owners utilise Williams & Smithells yacht brokers in Greece when buying, selling, or upgrading to a different boat.
The surveying and lift-out capability is ideal for anyone considering any of the wide range of boats for sale. Williams & Smithells yacht brokers are located right in the Lefkas Marina complex, a matter of yards from the yachts and boats berthed nearby and very close to the new marina hotel - ideal for anyone needing accommodation whilst visiting Lefkas and the Ionian looking at boats for sale in Greece.
