Summer Holidays to Nikiana

Nikiana Sun Holidays Review and Guide

Blues and greens are the hues of summer holiday to Nikiana and they are the gifts of Mother Nature because Nikiana is found on the stunningly rugged Greek island of Lefkas. The green comes from ancient olive groves, swaying coastal cypress trees and pine forests that climb up into the hills and the blue is the shimmering Ionian Sea which provides the perfect playground for a Nikiana summer holiday. Separating the blue from the green are the beaches. Next to the main coastal road there’s a thin strip of pebbles with a wonderful view of mainland Greece but the best beach for a Nikiana summer holiday is the small bay with a picturesque little harbour. The water laps peacefully here and the little brightly coloured boats bob happily providing a lovely picture postcard view of a summer holiday in Nikiana as you enjoy a tasty meal of freshly caught fish in one of the waterfront tavernas or a chilled glass of local wine in one of the numerous bars. The harbour is the perfect setting to observe the traditions of a summer holiday to Nikiana; take a pew at a quayside café by day to watch the nut brown fishermen land their catch and the fancy glacier white yachts pull into their moorings then return at dusk after a day’s relaxation on the beach or some island sightseeing, to watch the sun as it sets and turns the mountains red. A summer holiday to Nikiana is truly a colourful affair.
