The Melissa Gorge in Lefkada island

The Question:

Geia sas kurie Stavro
Also this year I will visit Lefkada. What I would like to know is the following:Where is the entrance to the Melissa gorge situated, how long is the gorge and where is the exit? I cannot trace the info on the net or on a map. As we walk distances and locations are important to avoid taking wrong roads.

The Answer:

Geia sas!
What a nice question!
So the Melissa gorge in Lefkada is a beautiful gorge 2km long and it will take you almost 1 hour to cross it. Its exit is in the area of "Kako Lagkadi". To find the entrance of the gorge follow the instructions:
As soon as you have left the city of Lefkada, follow the regional road to the "Sfakioton Municipality". After a 6km drive you will come across a memorial the municipality has built. There you turn right into an asphalt built road and drive another 3km. There you turn right again and follow a non-asphalt road. 2km later you will see the entrance to the gorge as well as the cave Spilia and a fountain to drink some water!
Hope you will have a nice time at Lefkada!
