Information about Nidri Beach
Nidri is one of Lefkada’s most popular seaside resorts on the island’s east coast, drawing thousands of visitors each summer. Its palm-lined promenade, lively beach bars, and youthful vibe meet a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The long, pebbly-sand beach offers calm, crystalline Ionian waters, sunbeds, watersports, and easy access to tavernas and cafés. From the shore, enjoy panoramic views of the Prigiponisia islets—Heloni, Sparti, Scorpidi, Madouri—and iconic Skorpios, the former Onassis island. Nidri is also a hub for sailing and daily boat cruises, with a busy marina and excursions to Skorpios, Meganisi’s caves, and nearby beaches. Inland, the Dimosari Waterfalls provide a shaded hiking escape. Accommodation ranges from budget studios to seafront hotels, and nightlife centers on cocktail bars and relaxed music venues along the waterfront.
