Lefkas September 2021

Scroll down for english ;-)

Efter 1 1/2 år uden nogen udenlandsrejser, fik vi endelig mulighed for at tage til dejlige Grækenland.
Vi havde bestilt en uges ferie med Apollo og fløj afsted 6. september.
Vi har været i Grækenland mange gange. Jeg har besøgt 9 forskellige øer og Heidi har besøgt 8 forskellige øer.
Vi havde aldring været på Lefkas.
Øen skuffede overhovedet ikke, faktisk vil jeg sige at, det nok er den ø vi har besøgt, som har haft det flotteste strande og med krystal klart badevand med relativ mange fisk.
Vi lejede cykler en dag og cyklede ud til Desemi stranden, hvor man kan svømme, snorkle ud til en lille grotte.
Stranden er lille, med små tavarnaer og der er en campingplads. Et minus var, at der var mange både, der skulle holdes øje med når vi snorklede. 
Besøg stranden fra formiddagen, så kan du være heldig at finde en plads med skygge under oliventræerne.
Vi var på en bådstur der hed Nidris skærgård med BBQ. En skøn dag, med flot vand og besøg på øen Meganissi hvor den lille landsby Spartohori ligger for enden af nogle stejle trapper.
Turen sluttede af med et badestop ud for øen Scorpio, hvor vagter på både bevogtede den glamourøse familien Onassis` privat Ø. En meget spændende og flot tur.
Vi besøgte to af de spectakulære strande på Lefkas. Den ene Porto Katsiki, som skulle være en af de mest populære på øen, hvilket også var at se. 
Kom tideligt på dagen, hvis du vil opleve stranden mere øde, for over middag bliver stranden fyldt og parkeringspladserne ligeså.
Det er værd at tage i betraktning at køre derfra senest klokken 16. Ellers bliver du fanget i et kaos af biler på de smalle veje som føre ned til stedet. Men flot var det.
Jeg vil til enhver tid vælge en anden strand, så som Pefkoulia stranden som ligger på den nordvestlige siden af Lefkas. Dette er en sandstrand og man kan leje solsenge og parasoller. Bilen kan parkeres lige ved nedgangen til stranden og her er meget mere ro end på Katsiki stranden.
Hvis du bor i Nidri, tager det 35 minutter i bil dertil.
Vi nød de 6 hele dage vi havde og glæder os allerede til næste rejse. Hvorend det bliver hen.

English version

After 1 1/2 years without any travel abroad, we finally got the opportunity to go to lovely Greece.
We had booked a week's holiday with Apollo and flew off on September 6th.
We have been to Greece many times. I have visited 9 different islands and Heidi has visited 8 different islands.
We had been aging at Lefkas.
The island did not disappoint at all, in fact I would say that, it is probably the island we have visited, which has had the most beautiful beaches and with crystal clear bathing water with relatively many fish.
We rented bikes one day and cycled out to Desemi beach where you can swim, snorkel out to a small cave.
The beach is small, with small tavernas and there is a campsite. One minus was that there were many boats to keep an eye on when we snorkeled.
Visit the beach from the morning, then you may be lucky enough to find a place with shade under the olive trees.
We were on a boat trip called Nidris archipelago with BBQ. A beautiful day, with beautiful water and a visit to the island of Meganissi where the small village of Spartohori is located at the end of some steep stairs.
The trip ended with a bathing stop off the island of Scorpio, where guards on boats guarded the glamorous family Onassis`s private island. A very exciting and beautiful trip.
We visited two of the spectacular beaches at Lefkas. The one Porto Katsiki, which was supposed to be one of the most popular on the island, which was also to see.
Come early in the day if you want to experience the beach more deserted, because over dinner the beach gets crowded and the parking lots as well.
It is worth considering driving from there no later than 4pm. Otherwise you will be caught in a chaos of cars on the narrow roads that lead down to the place. But it was beautiful.
I will at any time choose another beach, such as Pefkoulia beach which is located on the northwest side of Lefkas. This is a sandy beach and you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas. The car can be parked right at the descent to the beach and here is much more quiet than on Katsiki beach.
If you live in Nidri, it takes 35 minutes by car to get there.
We enjoyed the 6 full days we had and are looking forward to the next trip. Wherever it will take us to.
