Athani is a traditional mountain village perched on the western coast of Lefkada, offering sweeping views of the Ionian Sea and the nearby islands of Kefalonia and Ithaca. Its narrow stone-paved streets, whitewashed houses, and quiet squares create a serene atmosphere. The main draw for visitors is the proximity to Porto Katsiki, a dramatic beach with turquoise waters and towering white cliffs, accessible via a long staircase. Athani itself has a few tavernas serving local cuisine, making it a perfect base for exploring the rugged west coast.
