Porto Katsiki (Greek: Πόρτο Κατσίκι) is one of the most famous beaches in Greece and Europe in general. It is 35 Km away from Lefkada' city, near Athani village. The unique view of the white cliff over the beach combined with the surrounding green of the area and the cyan water of the sea make this beach a "must visit" place for tourists.

General Information

Porto Katsiki has parking lots and Canteens, but you will not find anywhere to stay. Some people camp on the beach, but this can be relatively dangerous underneath the rocks. The last 5 Km of the road are not wide enough and especially in August you may experience difficulties visiting Porto Katsiki at noon. In order to avoid this situation, you can go early in the morning (before 10:00) or at the afternoon (after 18:00). You may also visit Porto Katsiki with the cruise boats from Nydri or Vasiliki.
