Desimi Beach Camping

Alan Rogers Review

Desimi Beach is a small, family-run campsite on the Island of Lefkada near the town of Nydri. It’s located in a pretty, south-facing bay next to a narrow pebble beach with direct access to the warm waters of the Ionian Sea. Wooded slopes rise up from the azure sea, which gently laps the shoreline. The island of Lefkada is one of the few Ionian islands that is accessible without needing a ferry and is reached by driving from the mainland and then crossing the unique ‘floating’ swing bridge in Lefkada town.

The pitches are set amongst olive trees, some offering shade, and are laid out along the length of the beach on flat ground, all with water and electricity ranging from 4 to 16 amp.The campsite has a restaurant and bar where you can enjoy continental breakfasts and traditional homemade Greek specialities. There is also a shop with fresh bread and many local products, including olive oil produced by the owner’s own olive press. You don’t have to venture far for more food options as you will find another taverna a short stroll from the campsite on the other side of the cove. Another supermarket, bakery and more tavernas are 3km away.
