Local tips
Wind builds reliably once the mountains heat up, typically from 11am onwards. The three windmills on the hill above are visible from the beach and are the local landmark everyone uses for directions. Parking is limited so arrive early in high season. Accessible via the bridge from mainland Greece. Lefkada town is two and a half kilometres away with all facilities.
