Meganissi island is located at the beautiful, secluded complex of Ionian Islands. The name Meganissis paradoxically means "large island". Mentioned as far back as Homers times, this island has certainly seen some history. One can easily imagine the pirates and invaders that once sheltered and conspired in the caves and the bandits that hid in the lush growth amidst the olive trees.
When visitors are asked to describe Meganissi, the satellite island to Lefkada, they all say it is like taking a step back in time, unspoilt, charming and beautiful. This miniature Greek island is only 20 square kilometres in size and 4 nautical miles southeast from Lefkada and within easy reach by boat. There are numerous bays to explore, some caves to snorkel in and villages to amble around. The island has a total surface of 19.850.000 m² lies near Lefkada and it is very close to the mainland of Greece. It has approximately 1.500 permanent residents and has been inhabited from time immemorial, while the access is very ease due to its proximity to the port.
The exceptional nature impresses any visitor with the wild combined perfectly with the calm, deep blue, clean waters of the Ionian Sea. The formed, wild caves attract the attention, while they submerse into the crystal sea. The exploration doesnt stop in this marvellous environment, the caves; the numerous bays are waiting to be discovered. The re are plenty of exotic beaches with azure waters and the weather conditions are generally mild yearly.
The island is totally unspoilt and gives great reimbursements of the past. It has three main harbours (Vathi, Spilia, Atherino) and there is a development with waterside taverns and whitewashed houses. There are many restaurants and cafeterias to cover everyday needs. There are plenty of olives and other trees to occupy the permanent residents, and sheep, goats, and chickens are found as well. The two main harbours of Vathi and Spilia offer safe moorings to local fishermen and sailors. Each has seaside tavernas to while away an hour or two whilst taking refreshment and "people watching". Above these two harbours are the quaint villages of Katomeri and Spartohori. A labyrinth of tiny lanes and alleyways form a maze of whitewashed houses and courtyards full of tin-potted plants. A handful of churches occupy sites with the best sea views and a few tavernas offer tasty Greek meals to visitors.  In bygone years these villages were the centres of activity.
Everybody joined in with the olive harvest to make oil to sell and Corn was grown and milled in one of the many windmills to make flour. Nowadays, olive oil continues to be made on the island but in smaller quantities and produced by machine instead of donkeys. Flour is no longer made so all that remains of the windmills are the round stone built towers that balance on hilltops and capes, bereft of their sails and looking forlorn.
