nestled just a stone’s throw from the mainland, lefkada offers unrivalled accessibility between the greek islands. this serene paradise beckons with its tranquil ambience, enchanting beaches, and warm-hearted locals. while the nightlife remains understated, it effortlessly takes a backseat to the daytime allure of its heavenly landscapes and idyllic scenery.
one of lefkada’s crown jewels is the mesmerizing porto katsiki, a sight that has graced countless postcards and instagram feeds. here, wild white cliffs gracefully mirror the endless azure of the sea.
nearby, egremni beach transports you to equatorial realms with its silver sands and crystal-clear waters reminiscent of the paradisiacal beaches of tahiti, bali, barbados, and bermuda.
venture to the windswept vasiliki on the island’s southern coast, renowned throughout europe for its cross-shore winds, making it a windsurfer’s haven. mornings are adorned with gentle breezes, creating tranquil waters ideal for begin ners. as the clock nears noon, a robust cross-shore wind, affectionately known as ‘eric’ by locals, ushers in some of the mediterranean’s finest kitesurfing conditions. head to the lagoon off agios nikolaos for a thrilling kitesurfing experience, or drive to the pristine white sands of milos beach for takeoff.
adrenaline fans can go to kathisma beach for a day of heart-pounding paragliding. at the same time, nature enthusiasts can explore lefkada’s intricate network of underwater canyons, gorges, reefs, and caves through exhilarating scuba diving and snorkelling excursions.
make the most of lefkada’s prime location by excursions to the nearby islets of ithaca, kastos, kalamos, and meganisi. catch a glimpse of the famed scorpios island, formerly the private retreat of the onassis family and now transforming into a new luxury development by the rybolovlev family.
A contemporary retreat set just beyond the charming harbour village of Vasiliki, Cuore is an exceptional stone-built residence that marries rustic character with a quietly polished modern sensibility. Vasiliki, with its elegant seafront tavernas and unhurried Mediterranean rhythm, remains one of Lefkada’s most sought-after enclaves — and from the villa, the crystalline waters of Agiofili Beach lie only a short walk away.
Conceived to maximise openness and light, the interiors follow an airy, fluid plan, with four thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each accompanied by its own en-suite bathroom. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows draw the seascape directly into the home, bathing the rooms in natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the Ionian.
From long summer lunches to sunsets over the sea, Cuore elevates everyday moments into something quietly exceptional.
The living areas combine natural stone and timber with contemporary detailing, striking a harmonious balance between refinement and the relaxed warmth of island living.
Outdoors, broad terraces unfold towards a striking infinity pool that seems to dissolve into the sea. A covered dining area and built-in stone barbecue create an inviting setting for long summer lunches or evenings spent watching the sun settle over the horizon.
With its considered architecture, enviable position and effortless proximity to both Vasiliki and the beach, Cuore offers the rare opportunity to experience Lefkada’s authentic beauty in surroundings of measured, understated luxury.
