Nikiana is also at the west part of Lefkada, between Lefkada town and Nidri. The place has grown to be a very popular resort during the recent years and features a beautiful coast of pure, white pebbles and azure waters offering a great variety of cafes and taverns too. Nikiana is also ideal for any kind of watersports and boasts a great view the mainland across. Interesting sightseeing spots in the area are the hermitage of Holy Fathers and the two unique mountainous villages of Alexandros and Kolyvata on Skaros mountain right behind the coast.
