The organised beach with paragliders
One of the longest beaches on Lefkada (~1 km), wide, with fine white sand and pebbles, on the west coast below green cliffs. Fully organised and lively, with beach bars and rows of sunbeds.
The hills above are a well-known tandem paragliding launch — you will often see canopies landing on the sand. Easy road access with parking; one of the busiest in summer.

Kathisma has sand and pebbles underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.
For amenities, Kathisma has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds and parking nearby. There is a campsite nearby (Kathisma, ~606 m).
