Cape of Lefkatas

Top choice in Lefkada


This delightful terrace restaurant in Athani village has inspiring views down the mountainside to the sea beyond. Join the locals sitting in the shade of a cedar tree to enjoy superb seafood, including a risotto (€13) that's so thick in creatures of the deep that it wouldn't be a surprise to find Neptune himself hidden among the rice!
