Porto Katsiki, located on the breathtaking southwest coast of Lefkada, is about 40 km from Lefkada Town and just 15 km from Vasiliki 🚗. This world-famous beach appears on every postcard and travel blog for a reason – it's one of the most stunning beaches in Greece, and arguably in the entire world! 🌍💫 Its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and white pebbles make it the crown jewel of the island 👑.
Planning to visit by boat? ⛵ Be smart about it – check the wind and waves 🌬️🌊 before booking. If you're renting a private boat, always clarify what happens in case you can't disembark due to rough weather. 🚫🪙
For organized tours, ask how long you’ll actually spend on the beach. Some boats just cruise by or stop for a quick 30–40 minutes – barely enough time to enjoy it! ⏳ Make sure you're well-informed to avoid disappointment.
Also, keep in mind: boats can get crowded, and sometimes several arrive at once, making the beach quite packed 🚢👥. And remember – never accept the first price you hear. Bargaining for boat trips is normal on Lefkada, so negotiate! 💬💸

🪁 Agios Ioannis – Where the Wind Meets the Soul 🌬️🌊
Agios Ioannis welcomes you with a breeze that smells like freedom 🌿💙. The soft golden sands stretch endlessly beneath your feet, warm like a promise of summer ☀️🌾. Waves gently whisper stories from the Ionian Sea, while colorful kites dance across the sky 🪁🌈.

This beach is a paradise for wind lovers – especially kite surfers, gliding between sea and sky in pure joy 💨🏄‍♂️. The water shines in dazzling shades of turquoise and emerald, as if painted by nature itself 🎨🌊. Dive in, and the noise of the world fades away – it's just you, the sea, and infinite blue 🐠💦.

The seabed drops quickly, giving you that little thrill in your stomach 🌀😄. It’s perfect for snorkeling, floating, or simply letting your thoughts drift. Not too crowded, not too noisy – it’s wild in a peaceful, soft way 🌾🫧.

There’s a small tavern nearby offering fresh, local flavors and the most relaxing sunsets you’ll ever see 🍷🌅. The beach is wide and open, giving you plenty of space to enjoy both company and solitude 🌴📖. On the hill above, a little white chapel – dedicated to Saint John – watches quietly over the waves ⛪✨.

Agios Ioannis isn’t polished or overly commercial – it’s raw, real, and full of soul. Some parts are rocky, others smooth, but every corner offers your own piece of paradise 🌺🧘‍♀️. Bring your board, your book, or just yourself – it's more than enough 💛.

Here, time slows down.
Agios Ioannis is not just a beach – it’s a feeling. A memory waiting to happen. 🌅💞
