Seafront Maisonette for sale in Lefkada. Location Information:

Lefkada Town is the capital of the island located at its northeastern side. It is the administrative, economic and cultural center of Lefkada and has a population of about 8,000 inhabitants who are mostly engaged in agriculture and tourism.

The capital is a small town that lies around the natural harbour.

The major earthquakes that occur in 1948 and 1953 destroyed almost the entire island, and only some churches and a few historical monuments have survived.

Among the remaining monuments is the imposing fortress of Agia Maura, built in 1300 by the Franks in order to protect the island from the pirate attacks.

After the earthquakes, the capital was reconstructed, this time new houses and buildings were built with wooden skeletons and colored sheets of metal, forming an interesting and attractive architecture in order to withstand future earthquakes.

Each house was built very close to the other, surrounded by narrow pedestrian alleys that create a charming and unique setting. Lefkada Town is linked to the mainland by a narrow channel.

On the entrance of the harbour, a small square full of verdant trees welcomes the visitors and gives to the town a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere.
