Greece is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. The country as a whole blends old world style with modern amenities. One of the places that this is evident is within the village of Nikiana, which is a port on the island of Lefkada. It is one of the larger Ionian Islands. Lefkada is a popular place for tourists and is also well known for its place in Greek mythology. Budget hotels in Nikiana are available, many of which will have an ocean view. Nikiana is nestled at the bottom of the Skaros Mountain. It is considered to be a fishing village with a wide array of other water sports including windsurfing and skiing. Outdoor activities such as hiking are also popular in Nikiana.

The village itself is known for its quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The local taverns offer seafood and other traditional Greek foods, along with local wines. An interesting fact about the island of Lefkas is that it is actually attached to the Greece mainland, which offers travelers easy access to and from the island. Sailing is one of the most popular pastimes in Nikiana and staying in cheap hotels in Nikiana that overlook the harbour can afford you a wonderful view of some of the local scenery.
