16 Afteli beach
On the east cast of Lefkada Afteli is a tiny, but very place lovely place with emerald waters. It is 34km from Lefkas town and 11km from Vasiliki.
If you like small picturesque bays, natural environment, less popular beaches with calm and shallow waters, you will like the Afteli beach very much. Afteli is pebbly like other beaches in Lefkada. It is excellent for diving because of the surrounding rocks and rich underwater world. There is a cafe bar on the beach that offers drinks and snacks, as well as showers and sunbeds. There is a little space for one’s equipment, and the number of sunbeds is limited, so it is advised to visit the beach in the early hours.
We could say that this beach has the worst road, especially because in few places it is so narrow that it is impossible to bypass. It is necessary to drive very slowly because it has curves. But at the end of the road your reward, in the form of very pretty little bays with emerald, green sea, is waiting for you.
