Lefkada has a significant culinary heritage with some unique products of exceptional quality that you should seek to try during your visit. The famous colorful lentils from Eglouvi are smaller in size and tastier than average lentils.  

Lefkada is also famous for its thyme honey, particularly from Athani and Dragano. This honey is also used for the world renowned sweet treats “pasteli”, made with sesame seeds, honey and almonds, and “mandolato” a honey based nougat meringue. Soumada, a bitter-almond based beverage is served ice-cold and it is perfect to cool you down, especially in the hot summer days. Of course, Lefkada has a unique wine variety to boast of, the Bertzami wine, reclaimed for its rich, sweet flavor and the traditional winemaking procedures that have helped develop it.  Another signature delicatessen product of Lefkada is the handmade sausage with the mild garlic fragrance and whole pepper kernels. So, when you visit Lefkada, make sure to try them, you will be impressed!
