Best Hidden Beaches in Lefkada
Lefkada is famous for its turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful atmosphere.
But beyond the well-known spots, the island hides quiet beaches where you can escape the crowds and enjoy pure, untouched beauty.
These are the best hidden beaches in Lefkada — curated for travelers who want something more serene, authentic, and unforgettable.
1. Megali Petra
Megali Petra is one of Lefkada’s most impressive “secret spots.”
Massive rocks scattered along the shore create natural private coves and incredible photo opportunities.
You reach it by walking from the Avali area — a bit of effort, but the scenery is absolutely worth it.
Turquoise water + dramatic rock formations = a true lost-paradise vibe.

2. Gialos Beach

4. Agiofili Beach
Agiofili feels like a hidden gem even though it’s well known — mainly because it’s only accessible by boat or a short hike.

You can reach it by boat taxi from Vasiliki or by walking the coastal path.
Come early to enjoy its beauty before it gets busy.
