Lefkada is a great part of Greece. Lots of small villages and beaches, plenty of hotels with great restaurants. Preveza airport very close by.

Day 1: Thilia Island - unspectacular, mooring at Sivota. A very protected, friendly and alive little harbour - recommended at that time of the year.
Day2: Swimming at Ai Giannis on Atakos Island with pigs at the shore. Lovely place although a bit busy at times. Anchoring in the Vathy bay on Ithaka. A rather noisy place even when anchoring in the middle of the bay. Town not too impressive.
Day 3: Visiting the NW beaches of Ithaka - very beautiful spots. The winds got quite powerful in the evening and significant waves. Mooring in Ag. Effimia on Kephalonia. Great place for breakfast: Café Dodoni.
Day 4: Visiting Kalamos Island w. Porto Leon (nice quiet anchor bay with an abandoned village - very worth the visit) and mooring in Kalamos Port. Busy and tricky place to enter and moor with rocks at the entrance and at the quay wall. Expect entangled anchor chains! Food at George's taverna rather disappointing. Had a nice late evening walk through the village that is also to 90% abandoned.
Day 5: All around Meganisi Island, visiting the caves & swimming at some very picturesque beaches, mooring at a public spot at Vathy Bay (in front of the fisherman's house on the NE side of the bay, opposite of the marina. (No water or power connections there. We planned to stay at the Odysea Marina but they asked 100 EUR for a place outside the quay, which I thankfully declined.)
Day 6: Checking out some beaches on the E side of Lafkada and the Kennedy Beach on Skorpios (The last mentioned is not too impressive). Back to D-Marina in Lefkas.
Convenient marina. A bit far from Athens and one night there was no electricity to connect the boat

Lefkada is a beautiful Island, you need some time, a car and a boat for a couple of days to be able to visit all the places as there are quite a lot and almost all of them are beautifull.
