Overview

Introduction

Halfway down the east coast of Lefkas Nidri is the island’s most popular resort. Nidri is the best place to be if you want easy access to a wide choice of restaurants, some nightlife, an interesting variety of well-priced boat trips and watersports, and has a broad appeal to a range of ages and nationalities.

Its situation is most attractive, at the head of a sheltered bay with mountains behind and looking towards the islands of Meganissi and Skorpios. Although Nidri is not a large, international-style resort – there are no big hotels for example – in season it enjoys a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere, especially during the evenings along the length of its colourful harbour front.

To the north Nidri has a long, narrow fine shingle beach from which all manner of watersports are on offer. Small motorboats can be rented for exploration of the nearby islands and coastline. Nidri is also a centre for yachting so the quay is always lively - the restaurants and cafés lining the waterfront here are the perfect venue for watching the various harbour comings and goings during the day and people watching in the evenings.

Periyali, just a mile or so to the north, offers a quiet holiday, it has easy access to Nidri's bright lights. A 20 minute walk down the road (note: usually busy) takes you to the edge of Nidri and a further 10 minutes to the centre and harbour. A taxi back is inexpensive. Periyali does possess a handful of tavernas of its own, plus a bakery and mini-market, and boasts a pair of lovely sand/shingle beaches called Passa to its northern end, which afford excellent swimming in clear water. Like Nidri, Periyali is an excellent base for further exploration because most excursions pick up from here.

Nidri is often referred to as the jewel of Lefkas and is a reflection of Greece's rich history and vibrant culture. Located 16 km south of Lefkas Town, it offers a panoramic view of the islets of Heloni, Sparti, Madouri, and Skorpios, with the latter being the famous island of Aristotelis Onassis. A statue of Onassis, a testament to his legacy, stands tall on the promenade, overlooking Skorpios. Nidri comes alive during the summer months when the harbour fills up with hundreds of boats, and if you’re a fan of yachting events, then visit in September to watch the annual Ionian Regatta.
