Rising in pristine white above the cobalt Ionian Sea, Michaela is a feast for the senses and delight to behold. Its proud contemporary aesthetics are subtly offset by more old-world, colonial-style architectural motifs, its 22m-long, heatable infinity pool is magnificent, the views are to die for, and the sea access and jetty down below the terraced gardens complete a picture of pure delight.

The Area
Michaela is situated on the sea between the villages of Nikiana and Nidri on the east coast of Lefkada, and a 17-minute drive from Lefkada Town.
Apart from the taverna 300m up from the villa, there are plenty of other options, as well as shops, bars, water sports facilities and boat hire, in Nikiana and Nidri (5 and 10 minutes' drive respectively).
Exploring the island of Lefkada, which is 35km long and 15km wide, is relatively easy in a week and there's a great great deal to see and do. The azure, transparent waters of the Ionian Sea are a real attraction, and the varied coastline includes a host of idyllic beaches and the dramatic white cliffs Cape Lefkatas on the southern tip.
The wooded mountains of the interior, some of which rise to over 1,100m, offer excellent walking, some truly beautiful scenery and a scattering of unspoilt villages where the way of life remains profoundly connected to the island's ancient traditions and customs.
At its northern point, Lefkada is connected to mainland Greece by a causeway, and there are frequent ferry services from the ports of Nidri and Vasiliki to several of the other islands of the Ionian archipelago (including nearby Meganissi). All this makes it eminently possible to explore further afield.

Boat trips in Lefkada
The azure, transparent waters of the Ionian Sea are a real attraction and the varied coastline boasts a host of sandy beaches, secluded pebbly coves and dramatic white cliffs, such as those of Cape Lefkatas on the southernmost tip. Most beaches can be reached by car and a walk, though a few are only accessed via sea, a good excuse for hiring a boat for a day or two.
DiscoverBoat trips in Meganisi
The north of Meganissi is home to a seemingly endless array of dreamy bays with transparent blue waters, golden beaches, and emerald pinewoods. The best way to explore them is by boat, and you have two options: either rent your own with the help of our Local Concierges (they know all the best people); or let our experienced Specialists arrange a day or two on board one of our skippered charters. The sense of freedom you experience from cruising around, dropping anchor, and diving into the irresistible sea is like nothing else.
DiscoverBoat rental in Lefkada
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.
DiscoverCycling on Lefkada
Discover Lefkada’s stunning landscapes by bike. For more independent cyclists, renting a bike is great option, and you’ll have GPS with self-guided itineraries to point you in the right direction. One of our guided bike tours also makes a great addition to any stay in Lefkada, taking you onto the island’s hidden tracks in the company of experienced riders who know these trails inside out.
