Logistics & Technical

Maritime access is achieved through the Lefkada Town marinas or the northern anchorage of Agios Ioannis. The bathymetry near the northern entrance is complex, featuring shifting sandbars and a narrow canal that requires strict adherence to the marked buoyage system. The monastery is accessible via a short terrestrial transit from the port. While the northern beaches are exposed to the "Maistro" (NW wind), the inner harbor of Lefkada provides total security with a mud and silt seabed offering reliable holding.
