Nidri is the most popular tourist resort, the largest in Lefkada. It is located in the middle of Lefkada – Vassiliki route and stretches along the eastern coastline. Opposite are the famous Prince Islands (Scorpios, Skorpidi, Madouri, Sparta) and further away is Meganisi.
It is an ideal base for visits to the church of Agia Kyriaki, the cave of the nymphs, the grave of William Dorpfeld (German architect and archaeologist, who identified Lefkada being Homer’s Ithaca), waterfalls and Dimosari canyon. There, in early summer when the water is still abundant, we can swim in the icy, refreshing water emanating from the island’s high mountains.
The village became well known when in 1963 shipowner Aristotle Onassis bought nearby island Scorpios. Since then, the village has hosted numerous celebrities from around the world. At the port of the village you will now see a statue of Onassis.
