Agios Ioannis is a famous, sandy beach on the west side of the island and the closest one to the town of Lefkada. There are many old windmills creating a unique landscape. Besides the magnificent view and the clear waters, Agios Ioannis beach is a favorite for kite surf lovers as the wind creates optimal conditions for kite surfing—up to 6 Bft.
