Lakka boasts a naturally protected horseshoe-shaped harbor, making it one of the most picturesque ports in the Ionian Islands. The village is nestled between green hills and crystal-clear waters, offering a perfect combination of waterfront activity and peaceful retreat.
Lakka is wonderfully pedestrian-friendly. The village center, with its shops, bakeries, and tavernas, is easily explored on foot. Most of our properties are within a 5-10 minute walk to the harbor, making evening strolls and morning coffee runs a delightful part of daily life.
Harami and Orkos beaches are within easy walking distance (10-15 minutes) from Lakka. These pristine beaches offer crystal-clear waters and are perfect for morning swims or full beach days. Several smaller coves around the bay are also accessible by foot.

While Lakka welcomes visitors during summer months, it maintains its authentic charm. The village is liveliest during evening hours when visitors and locals enjoy harbor-side dining, but it never feels overcrowded like larger Mediterranean destinations.
