Lefkada, or Lefkas, is situated in the central area of the Ionian Sea, on the upper section of the west coast of mainland Greece, flanked by Corfu and Kefalonia. Despite being an island, Lefkada offers excellent accessibility due to a floating bridge connecting it to the mainland, allowing for continuous traffic.

Between April and October, there are direct flights available to Aktio airport, which is a mere 17 km from Lefkada, from several European countries. Additionally, the island can be reached by car via the Preveza-Aktion undersea tunnel and the Egnatia Odos motorway from northwestern Greece, while the Rio-Antirio bridge and the Ionian Odos motorway provide access from the rest of Greece.
