Lefkada, Ionian Islands






Our next trip was to Lefkada which is an island in the Ionian Sea on the opposite side of Greece as the other islands we visited. It was Tres' favorite stop. They had some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. The water was crystal blue and so refreshing. We spent the first day at a remote beach on the edge of the island. We had rented a car so we could go around the island which was not that big. Tres loved jumping off the rocks at the beach which has become his American trademark in Greece. He starts the jumping, and people generally follow suit. We then just drove around the island. The donkey is a typical thing to see in the villages which Tres loved. The vineyards were one of my favorite things. We had fun "taste-testing" some of the grapes, unbeknownest to the owners. They were great! Our first day was so relaxing and enjoyable. What a great island!
