The island is home to traditional villages such as Karya, where visitors can witness local craftsmanship and folklore traditions. The capital, Lefkada Town, offers a delightful mix of Venetian architecture, vibrant markets, and cultural festivals throughout the year.

The local cuisine is a highlight for food lovers.
