Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Lefkimmi

Not far from the beach, the village of Lefkimmi is crossed by a river where fishermen moor their boats. This charming spot is also marked by a bridge linking the two banks. It's a place that still preserves the customs and traditions of yesteryear. You'll often see women on donkeys, for example. It's a pleasant walk. Following the scenic riverside road, you'll find the sandy beach of Boukas, 1.5 km away. Its shallow, clear, warm waters make it ideal for children.

The port village of Lefkimmi is also great for swimming. The village center is about two kilometers from the sea. Fishing boats are moored along a canal that can be followed to Bouka beach. Close to the mouth of the river, it's a nice little beach, especially before taking a boat. Accessible by car, it is equipped with showers, changing rooms and deckchairs for a fee. But the water is transparent and very warm in season. And it's much less crowded than other beaches on the island.
