Lefkada, the island for all seasons, welcomes autumn, but without letting the summer go.
The visitors of the island are gradually decreasing, but they are still there,
looking for beauty not only on the beaches anymore but also in the wonderful nature of the hinterland.
Autumn is the season of the colors. The shades of green, yellow, orange, red,
brown and the silver that is coloring the slopes of Skaro, of Elati, of Stavroton are offering images of unique beauty.
The paths of the island, with the care of the local clubs, await the walkers to get to know a Lefkada that they could never imagine that exists.
A Lefkada full of magic with amazing changes of images as the mountain and the sea compete for dominance.
At this time the mountains of Lefkada have their due as they are organized sports activities that highlight their beauty and give life to the old ones trails and the villages of mountainous Lefkada.
Two major sporting events attract mountain runners from all over Greece and abroad with the aim of reviving old routes and attracting young people and children to sport.
The oldest event, the Lefkas trail run already counts 7 years and is being prepared for the 8th and takes place in the green mountain of Skaros.
The most recent, the Jovani’s Mountain Race laid the foundations of the successful event just a year ago and takes the athletes even higher,
in the cool Egluvi, Karya and its surrounding paths with amazing view in Nidri – Nikiana
Both games, in addition to being major sporting events for the region, they also play an important role in the island’s tourism.
They have both clean, stable and cultural-folkloric-historical background as the 1st one highlights the old paths that connected the villages to each other and the the second one is dedicated to Giovanni, a legendary figure of Egluvi.
The mountains come to life at the time when the myth wants the earth to “rest”.
Experience the magical power of autumn and its fiery colors.
Experience the island.
