Lefkada — old town and canal

The distinctive houses with metal facades and wooden upper floors make Lefkada instantly recognizable — this style emerged as a response to frequent earthquakes. The canal separating the island from the mainland is crossed by a drawbridge, and a walk along it offers a lovely view of the Venetian fortress of Santa Maura.
