About Kathisma Beach
Kathisma is one of Lefkada’s best-known and most popular beaches. Stretching for over 1 km along the west coast, it’s framed by hills and offers wide views of the deep turquoise Ionian Sea. The beach combines lively beach bars, organised sunbeds/umbrellas, and quieter ends where you can escape crowds. It has a cosmopolitan feel, especially in high season, but you can still find more relaxed spots toward the edges. The shore is a mix of sand and fine pebbles with typically moderate waves, so the water feels livelier than the island's sheltered east coast. Organized sections provide sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and toilets, with beach bars serving food through the day. A large parking area behind the beach keeps access easy, though it fills by midday in August.
