Crystal Waters

Forty metres from the calm bay at Nikiana, Crystal Waters arranges its rooms along Lefkada's sheltered eastern coast — quieter and more sheltered than the island's surf beaches, with direct views across to the Akarnanian mountains.

Beach loungers and umbrellas sit at the waterfront; diving, snorkelling, and fishing are organised on site. The spa runs yoga and aerobics alongside massage treatments, and a kids' club with a separate pool keeps families occupied through the afternoon heat.

Nikiana village is a ten-minute walk north, with tavernas along the quay. Lefkada Town and its Friday market lie seven kilometres up the coast road, reachable by bicycle rental from the property.
