Lefkada was an unknown island to us, we´d never heard of it but it made it onto our trip itinerary because of the fact that it has a bridge connecting it to the mainland, which meant one less ferry trip in the van, which was good for our dwindling budget. But I am glad we visited because not only does this island have some seriously mind-blowingly beautiful beaches, but also produces some of the best honey I have ever tasted. The entire island is blanketed in wild thyme and sage, it is a bee paradise and the honey is sublime. We bought tons of the stuff from road side stalls, some of which even made it back to my family South Africa and I am not even joking when I say that I would make the trip back here just simply to buy more honey, it was that good.
