Asprogerakata village (“white-falcons place” in Greek), is among the most significant villages of Lefkada island, as the area from the ancient years until today, has been famous for its crystal water springs (Frya Well) from where 7 other villages used to carry water back home. This natural gift, has created an area of amazing beauty. Everything you need is in walking distance and you will explore the best parts of the island having a wonderful location and house as your base! Lefkada town is just 9 km away, as far as Nikiana town is also located. In both towns, you will find places of interest and vivid night life. But you don't have to go that "far", when Agios Nikitas beach, has really beautiful bars if you feel like going somewhere close to your house for a drink or two! In our wonderful area, a famous Wine festival takes place on Frya Square, around the historic Frya Well!
Two famous villages of Lefkada, Karya, the other well known mountain village with a picturesque plane tree shaded square and the exquisitely crafted traditional “karsanika” embroideries which have won a fine reputation, and Egklouvi, famous for producing delicious lentils that are one of the top varieties in Greece, are just 1 and 5 km from here! Other cultivations of the area include chickpeas, broad fava beans, and a rare grape variety called “vertzami” possibly introduced to the area by the Venetians in 1684.
Either you drive your car or you take the bus, when in Asprogerakata, you are on the main road that circles the island and takes you to all places of interest, villages and beaches you want to visit.
SAILING & CRUISES!
The wonderful landscapes give way to equally wonderful seascapes, with azure waters bathing white sands in coves adorned with picturesque fishing villages. Sail around the island to explore all those unspoiled spots. As a matter of fact, sailing has developped in a rather impressive way here. The modern marina in the town of Lefkada can host up to 620 vessels, attracting Robinsons in quest of fun and adventure on the island of Lefkada and on the smaller ones opposite Nydri: Prigkiponissia, Meganissi with the countless coves, Kalamos and Kastos with the secluded beaches and sea caves. If diving is your cup of tea, the lefkadian sea bed will fascinate you with the unforgettable images you’ll see unfold before your eyes.
SEA SPORTS & MORE!
Sea sports rule on Lefkada! Enjoy pedalo, canoe and water ski rides, or indulge in the pleasure of more “sophisticated” activities, ranging from barefoot to mono ski, double ski, wake board and knee board. If you want to alternate beach games with water ones, you are in the right place. Let us just mention a few ones to dispel any possible doubts of yours: fly-fish, tubes, banana, crazy-sofa, big marble, etc. A Centre of Sea Sports is in operation in the area of Nydri, providing expertise and equipment. Go parasailing over the bay of Vassiliki and all the way to the beautiful - ex Onassis owned - island of Scorpio. Paragliding is a blast of a choice too, especially when you want to go downhill over the area of Kathisma and land on the beautiful beach.
Kite surfing in Myloi beach.
Mountain biking: the island’s tall, green mountains are criss-crossed by routes and trails that are ideal for this sport. Rent your mountain bike in Lefkada town.
