Egklouvi is a picturesque, traditional mountain village known for its rich agricultural heritage. It’s especially renowned for its high-quality lentils, considered among the best in Greece. The name Egklouvi (Εγκλουβή) likely derives from the Greek word "εγκλωβίζω" (enklovízo), meaning to enclose or to confine, since it is tucked into a mountainous basin, surrounded by higher peaks that give it a feeling of being enclosed or hidden. The village cultivates chickpeas, broad beans, famous Egklouvi lentils, and a rare local grape variety called “Vertzami,” which is believed to have been introduced by the Venetians in 1684.

Agios Petros is a traditional mountain village in southern Lefkada, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and pine-covered slopes. Its narrow stone-paved streets, whitewashed houses with tiled roofs, and small squares create a charming and authentic atmosphere. From the village, there are beautiful views over Vasiliki Bay and the Ionian Sea, especially at sunset. Life moves slowly here, with locals gathering in shaded courtyards and the scent of herbs and flowers drifting through the air. Agios Petros is an ideal place for visitors looking to experience the peaceful, rural side of Lefkada, away from the bustle of the coast but still close enough to reach nearby beaches within a short drive.

Kontaraina is a quiet mountain village in southern Lefkada, set about 160–170 meters above sea level and home to around 170 residents. Its stone houses reflect traditional Lefkadian architecture, built to withstand the island’s earthquakes while preserving a rustic charm. The village is home to the 19th‑century Church of the Virgin Mary, one of the largest in the area, known for its restored icons and historic surroundings. Scattered throughout are old stone wells, once an essential part of daily life, now serving as reminders of the community’s past. A notable landmark is the War Memorial, dedicated to the villagers who lost their lives between 1912 and 1953. This monument stands as a symbol of respect for their sacrifice.
