#Lefkada_Island #Vacations #Summer #Greece
The town of #Lefkada, with its characteristic architectural style, its narrow lanes, well cared for courtyards and delightfully unspoiled aristocratic charm is what gives the visiting traveller a first impression.
We start our walk from the church of Agios Minas. Built in the early 18th century, it has a magnificent iconostasis carved out of wood with a gold leaf coating. The icons that adorn it were painted by some of the best hagiographers from the Ionian Islands, while its iron bell tower was built in the 1920s. In the past, the shops of the craftsmen of Lefkada as well as the caravansaries the villagers used for their animals were located in this area. The main business street of Lefkada, the bazaar as the locals call it, starts here.
Walking down the main street, the visitor comes across the characteristic buildings that nowadays house small shops and fancy coffee shops. The distinctive architecture of the city is owed to the cultural heritage of the Venetian conquerors and the intense seismic activity of the region. Most houses have two or three floors, a simple design and a light wooden construction. They are usually painted in bright colors.
The arcades that run along the sidewalk are a characteristic architectural feature of the town with a very clear renaissance influence. Most of them are made out of wood, while their arch shape allows the sunlight to enter the ground floor of the houses.
Our second stop is the church of the Presentation of Mary (1720 AD) with its traditional Ionian bell tower. The representation of the Second Coming at the top of its baroque iconostasis immediately catches the eye of the visitor along with the rest of the icons that were painted by well known hagiographers from Lefkada.
You will find here the three libraries of the town, the Stamos Hall and two noteworthy churches. First we come across the Stamos Art Hall which is dedicated to the Lefkadian expressionist painter Theodoros Stamos. Throughout the year, the hall hosts painting, engraving, sculpture and photography exhibitions. Charamoglios library is located in the first floor of the same building. It is an archive at least six centuries old which contains 40.000 book titles whose subject is Lefakda and its people. It was established in 1991 by Aristotelis Charamoglis and is included in the Guinness record. On the other side of the street, you will find the library of the world renowned historian, N. Svoronos. It has books, rare pamphlets and newspapers as well as unpublished doctoral dissertations.
You will also see two sculptures on the square, the bust of Nikos Svoronos and the National Resistance Monument. Every July, the Festival of Lefkadian Cuisine is held here.
Down the street, on you left, you can see the church of Agioi Anargiroi. It is a typical example of a Lefkadian church with a tall wooden iconostasis and renaissance paintings by the painter Sp. Gazis. On the other side of the street, stands the Public Library of Lefkada. It is housed in a two story neoclassical building with a beautiful garden that was built as the residence of the Zoulinou family at the end of the 19th century. It was subsequently used by the National Bank of Greece and then became public property. There is a large number of books and print material in its collection, as well as a significant number of post-byzantine icons that exemplify the Ionian style of hagiography practiced by Doxaras, Rousos, Patsaras, Gazis, etc.
One of Lefkada’s most recent acquisitions is the marina, the most modern in Greece, situated on the east side of the town. Its mooring capacity is for 620 boats and its buildings comprise a control tower, a multi-purpose building, sailing club offices, a complex of offices and shops, a small hotel, a boat repair and maintenance facility, parking for 455 cars, winter mooring for 300 boats, a road network and a green belt. It has a 1700 metre - long breakwater and 940 metres of floating wharfs. It is a town within the town of Lefkada with its own life, bars and restaurants also frequented by non boat - owners to enjoy its comforts and the picture of the liquid mirror of the channel reflecting the rosy fingers of the sunrise and the mystique of the moonlight.
