| - | * I agree the prices are high when taken on a daily basis.

Lefkas Marina lies at the N end of the canal that separates the island of Lefkas from the mainland and links the Ionian Sea to the so-called ‘Inland Sea’ to the S. The marina offers 620 berths on seven pontoons and associated quays in depths of up to 4.0 metres.
