It starts from the back side, nearly close to the Castle of Aghias Mavras, forming the Ammoglossa and reaching the other side, beyond the town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The lagoon in the town of Lefkada and the Lagoon of Stena,<\/strong> create magical sceneries. They were enlisted to the network of NATURA 2000 as protected areas with significant ecological importance. The area of the lagoon in the town of Lefkada presents a great interest as an immigrate station of birds, characterized by the treaty of RAMSAR as a wildlife sanctuary of international interest. There you can meet many and rare species of birds, like heron, swans, a variety of gulls, ducks and geese. Inside the lagoon, evari exists, sea farms with special traditional kiddles, where the fishes live and grow under a natural environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The oil grove:<\/strong> To the north of the town of Lefkada, there is an oil grove with perennial olive trees. When the Turkish arrived for the first time to the island, there were already about 8500 olive trees to the field of Lefkada and to the villages of Apolpena, Fryni and Aghios Nikitas. The Venetians, who returned in 1684, appointed the cultivation of olive trees, as compulsory. In this way they tried to; balance the inhabitant\u2019s loss caused from the damage of shipping business, and trade by transferring the town away from the Castle imposing heavy taxation. By replacing the grain, which until then was seeded to the field of olive trees, were keeping inhabitants in a deficient position in order to control them, being the suppliers of grain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pefkoulia:<\/strong> After the village of Tsoukalades and in the route towards Aghios Nikitas, the olive trees had been replaced by a forest of pine trees. This territory is called Pefkoulia, covers all this area reaching down the sea, ending to a big sandy beach, which is also called Pefkoulia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alikes (salt pans):<\/strong> From the other side, facing east, outside the town of Lefkada, you can meet the salt pans of the town. Salt pans have stopped operating in 1947 and together with Alikes (salt pans) Alexandros, near the bay and the port Drepani, are a very important part of the land\u2019s history which should be definitely preserved. The first salt pans had been constructed by the Franks of Tokkous, in the early part of the 15th century with an expanse of 500 sq.m. They were composed by 26 alopigia or pans. During the Venetian domination, the salt pans had been supplying with salt, the market of Venetia and from there, every market of North Italy and Central Europe. The second salt pans had been constructed by Venetians of Morozini, in 1684, in an expanse of 50 sq.m with 34 pans. The salt pans of Lefkada supplied a great quantity and quality of salt. Protected from the wave, they were open spaces with dazzling sunlight and dry summer. The sea water was quickly evaporated, leaving the salt to the bottom of the pan, preserved for a few days and then carried to the shoulders and heads of the workers, to the huge central pile for elaboration and collection at the end of August. The work was very hard and dangerous for women workers, carrying barefoot 25 to 30 kilos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Forest of Skaros:<\/strong> A great monument of nature. This forest has a unique flora and fauna with a rare kind of oak trees. Many evidences exist, stating that this forest was a property of the Turk Achmet Aga during the Turkish domination, who sold it for a worthless amount to the priest of the Monastery of Aghios Georgios in Skaros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1792\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1792\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Manicipality of Karya<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1792\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1792\"><p>To the field of Karya, a big span near Pigadisanous, you can meet all kinds of cultivation. The land is extremely fertile for grain, cereals, gardens and vineyards.<\/p>\n<p>Another magical natural beauty is the waterfall of Akoni. The waterfall is also presenting an ecological interest. This nature was highly commended in the work of both great poets of Lefkada, Aristotelis Valaoritis and Aggelos Sikelianos.<\/p>\n<p>Over Karya, you can meet Englouvi. While the altitude grows, the vegetation thins out and the environment becomes wilder and rougher. On every hill side, small walls, lithies, are keeping the dirt from tumbling down to create steps or levels for the viniculture. To the tableland of Englouvis, the visitor can admire the voltous, stone domed buildings, which were used as farm houses for the summer time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1793\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1793\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Manicipality of Ellomenos<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1793\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1793\"><p>In Ellomenos, the morphology of the land varies, combining the largest fertile field of the island, <strong>Egklimeni<\/strong>, with mountainous masses of Platistomo, Vafkeri, Neochori, Alatro, Fterno and the tourist coasts which become resorts for thousands of summer visitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Canyon of Charadiatika:<\/strong> The area of Charadiatika is divine and unique for its beautiful canyon. Beautiful and impervious to human interference, ideal for long walks in the nature. In the canyon, many windmills are preserved, remainings of the area\u2019s farm life, witnesses of wild waters existence used for grinding of the inhabitant\u2019s harvest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Canyon of Dimosari:<\/strong> We meet a scenic shady trail which climbs the side hill of the Canyon Dimosari. The trail is cut and safe, perfect for the summer months. At the end of the trail there is a chain of rocks where the wild waters are forming a waterfall.
