Porto Katsiki, Lefkada

A white cliff wall over the Ionian's most photographed strip of turquoise

A crescent of pale pebble-sand at the foot of a 100-metre chalk cliff on Lefkada's west coast. The colour comes from the white stone on the seabed, and the 80 steps down keep the crowd manageable outside August.
