The climate of Lefkada (Greece)
Lefkada is a Greek island which is part of the Eptanisa islands. Lefkada is situated in the Ionian Sea not far from the islands of Kefalonia, Ithaka and Meganisi. Somewhat further to the north the island of Korfoe is situated. The capital of Lefkada is in the northern part of the island. A bridge connects the island to mainland Greece. In the vicinity of the capital several snow white beaches can be found. The island is named after these white beaches. Lefkada has a warm Mediterranean climate influenced by the Ionian Sea. Summers are warm, sometimes even hot. During the summer there is little precipitation. Winters are cold but pleasant, really cold days are uncommon. However, temperatures are too low to make the island suitable as a winter sun destination.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
