Other settlements on the island, including Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi, lie further east and south, giving a sense of how the island's main towns spread around its coastline.
Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer. The islands split between the Aegean and the Ionian, and Lefkada is joined to the mainland by a bridge.
