Quick answer
Porto Katsiki is a white-cliff cove on Lefkada's southwest coast reached by a road and steps, or by boat from Nydri and Vasiliki. Egremni's long staircase was damaged in past earthquakes, so access has varied — check current status. Both face west and can have strong waves.
What to know
- Go early or late; parking fills fast.
- Afternoon light is best on the west coast.
- Kathisma is an easier family beach.
- Lefkada connects to the mainland by a bridge.
