The area
Mikros Gialos
A quiet bay with clear water on the south-east coast of Lefkada, below the village of Poros. This is where we are, 50 metres from the beach.
In the bay, on foot
The beach
50 m on foot
Pebbles and clear, calm water. The bay is sheltered from the wind, so the sea usually stays calm even when the west coast has waves. You'll find sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach.
Tavernas and mini markets
Tavernas serving fresh fish along the beach and by the little harbour, plus mini markets for the basics.
Water sports
Kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats are for rent on the beach, so you can see the bay from the water.
