Lefkimmi
For couples and travellers who enjoy a river setting, cafes and a southern town base
A river lined with cafes and tavernas gives Lefkimmi a different centre from Corfu’s beach resorts. Streets and squares shape this southern town, with the historic Alykes salt pans in its surroundings. The ferry port is a separate reference point from the town centre.
We would compare Lefkimmi for couples and travellers who want town life to be part of the holiday itself. Spend time around the river and plan the beach separately, perhaps towards Molos, rather than expecting every part of the stay at one waterfront address.
Distinguish accommodation in town from an address beside the port or a neighbouring shore. Request the route to both the river and your chosen beach before deciding which location fits.
Our tip
Decide whether the river and cafes or a beach should begin your day. Compare central Lefkimmi, the ferry port and surrounding shores as different locations.
