Greece Porto Katsiki View
Porto Katsiki, on the southwest coast of Lefkada, Greece, is renowned for its dramatic white limestone cliffs and a concave bay holding a vibrant turquoise sea and white pebble beach.
Photography Tips
To photograph Porto Katsiki from above, arrive early or late in the day for softer light and fewer people. Use the viewpoint near the parking area for a classic top-down angle of the beach, cliffs, and turquoise water. A wide-angle lens captures the full curve of the bay, while a polarizing filter enhances water color and reduces glare. Consider vertical shots to emphasize the dramatic drop from the cliff to the sea.
Travel Information
To reach the Porto Katsiki viewpoint above the parking area, drive through Athani village following the well-signposted winding road to the clifftop parking lot. Once parked, walk to the edge of the lot and you’ll find an open vantage point where stunning panoramic views of the beach and turquoise bay await, accessible just a few steps from your car, no descent required.
