1. Windsurfing in Vasiliki - Let the wind carry you
Vasiliki, South Lefkada
Vasiliki is one of Europe’s top windsurfing spots — and it lives up to the hype. Thanks to the reliable afternoon wind (affectionately named “Eric”), shallow waters, and a variety of schools, this bay is perfect whether you’re a beginner or a thrill-hungry pro.
Pro tip: Mornings are calm for learning, afternoons bring the real thrill.
2. Paragliding above Kathisma - Fly the west coast
Words fall short when you’re gliding over Kathisma. Towering cliffs, turquoise waters, and a horizon that seems endless — this is more than a sport, it’s a moment of pure freedom. Local paragliding schools offer tandem flights, so even first-timers can soar safely through the sky.
Pro tip: Go just before sunset for golden-hour magic over the Ionian Sea.
3. Kitesurfing in Agios Ioannis - Ride the waves, unwind your mind
You don’t need an engine — just the wind. At Agios Ioannis, wide-open sands and steady summer breezes make this beach a dream for all levels of kitesurfers. Dozens of colorful kites fill the sky above turquoise waters, while you ride between sea and sky. And the backdrop? A historic 18th-century windmill, watching over the action.
Pro tip: The golden-hour sessions here are unbeatable for both thrill and photos.
4. Scuba Diving - Discover the Unknown Depths
For true sea adventurers, scuba diving opens the door to another world. Equipped with wetsuits, tanks, and expert guidance, you’ll explore underwater caves, dramatic walls, reefs, and rare marine life. Locations like Nikiana and Vasiliki offer organized dives suitable for both beginners and certified divers.
Extra tip: If you’re certified, ask about the “deep wall” dives — they’re a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
5. Freediving - Go deep on a single breath
Freediving is not just a sport — it’s a test of body and mind. On one breath, you leave the surface behind and enter a silent world of pressure, focus, and pure presence. In the calm eastern coves of Lefkada, you’ll find ideal spots to train or try freediving for the first time, always under the guidance of certified instructors.
Pro tip: No experience? No problem. Intro sessions are safe, simple, and unforgettable.
6. Mountain Biking - Conquer Lefkada’s Peaks
Lefkada is more than beaches. Its mountainous trails reveal a different, wilder side of the island—lush forests, steep slopes, and traditional villages. In the south, Fterno and nearby Syvros offer ideal routes for scenic, laid-back rides through pine forests and olive groves. For more demanding adventures, head to Karya or Englouvi, with the climb to the “White Church” at 1,158 meters being one of the toughest—and most rewarding—for the stunning Ionian Sea views.
Extra tip: Organized e-bike tours are available and offer a fun and relaxed experience, even for beginners.
7. Climbing - Face to face with the cliffs of the Ionian
West Lefkada - Kathisma Beach
Lefkada’s west coast doesn’t just offer views — it offers elevation. On the far right side of Kathisma Beach, the white limestone cliffs that drop into the Ionian Sea have become a hidden playground for climbers. A handful of bolted routes, opened by experienced Greek and international climbers, are already in place, along with natural bouldering spots. Still off the radar for most, this area is perfect for those seeking fresh challenges in raw, untamed scenery — with the sea as your backdrop.
Pro tip: Spring and autumn offer the best climbing conditions, but even summer mornings can be ideal — just start early, before the beach fills up.
From the skies to the deep blue, and from the waves to the mountain peaks, Lefkada offers countless ways to experience adventure.
Τhe best part? All these experiences revolve around a place we call “topos”: Eleftherion Comfort Living Lefkada - a common ground for creativity and the joy of life.
Here, you don’t have to choose between adventure and tranquility. The serenity of the mountains can effortlessly meet the energy of nature — and that’s when your next step begins, at your own pace.
1. Hiking
Fterno · Vournikas · Syvros · Kerasia Springs · Dafnes · Vasiliki
Here, walking begins naturally.
From the doorstep of Eleftherion Comfort Living, you can head towards Fterno, following gentle, green trails through dense forests. Or take the uphill path to Vournikas — the panoramic view over the wild landscape and the seaside village of Vasiliki is, without doubt, breathtaking.
First stop in Vournikas, you’ll want to find cool spring water here and rest at the village’s tiny café. Don’t expect much. Time really has stopped here.
After this short break, we head forward to Syvro's hidden treasure — the Trail of the Springs. We recommend our two favorite routes - Kerasia Springs and Dafnes - both gentle to moderate.
Check in with yourself and if you have the energy, continue downhill along the peaceful trails that lead all the way to the sea and the village of Vasiliki.
A sunset dinner at this picturesque port is one of those moments you’ll carry with you long after leaving Lefkada.
Extra tip: Let the property know about your hiking plans and make arrangements for your return in advance.
2. Biking
Fterno: a raw gem for two wheels
Not all trails are mapped. Not all journeys are marked.
Fterno is one of those places that invites you to explore, not just to follow.
The area around Eleftherion Comfort Living is full of easy to moderate cycling routes — through lush forests and olive groves — that haven’t yet made it onto any official trail maps.
That’s part of their charm. That’s part of their challenge.
We believe in motivation and in building a local biking culture that both respects and expands the terrain.
We’re taking the first step: offering discounts — and, under certain circumstances, free stays — to athletes and passionate bikers who want to contribute to the discovery, mapping, and shaping of a cycling culture in our community. You bring the skills. Ride, trace, and maybe even name a new route.
Whether you’re a solo explorer or part of a riding club, don’t hesitate to contact us and become part of a growing community that’s just beginning to take shape.
