Lefkada is the only Ionian island connected to the Greek mainland by a causeway — a floating bridge that opens for boat traffic, allowing the island's character of island isolation to coexist with the practical ease of driving access. The island's west coast contains some of the finest beaches in Greece — Porto Katsiki and Egremni, reached by steps down the cliffs, are consistently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Europe.

For Porto Katsiki and Egremni. The west coast cliff beaches — the turquoise water against the white limestone cliffs, accessible by boat or by the long descent of steps. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt for the beach and the boat approach, leather sandals. The extraordinary natural setting rewards natural fabric in white and natural colourways.

For Lefkada Town. The capital — the Venetian influence visible in the architecture, the causeway bridge at the entrance, the marina where sailing yachts gather in the summer season. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers or linen shorts and leather sandals or loafers.

For the sailing. Lefkada's position in the Ionian makes it a central point for sailing the Greek islands — the Ionian Sailing Week departs from here. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt for the boat, leather deck shoes. The sailing culture of the Ionian is the cultural context for which the PP natural linen wardrobe is most naturally at home.

For the evenings. Nidri on the east coast and the tavernas of the smaller inland villages — a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes.
