Description

Lefkada is an Island in the Ionian group on the western side of Greece. The Lefkada trail traverses the island from North to South the entire length of the island from Lefkada Town to Cape Doukato following monopati [traditional old paths] and unsurfaced tracks. The trail traverses the island spine going over mountain peaks and passing majestic viewpoints. The trail network is a system of old paths and routes joined together to make a single trail from the top of the island to the bottom.

The goal of the trail is to encourage the outdoors and to bring tourism to the interior of the island. The Greek islands are primarily known for their coastal towns and beaches. The interior of the island is quite mountainous and rugged, with diverse agriculture. In the summer months, numerous trail /mountain runs attract local and international runners.
