Lefkada, the Greek island in the Ionian sea, is known internationally for its breathtaking landscape and crystalline, turquoise waters.
Yet Lefkada‘s mythic past holds many tragic tales, specifically in terms of the iconic Cape Lefkada, topped with the Doukato Lighthouse.
The Cape is located at the southern tip of the island, and its extraordinarily dramatic topography — a sheared-off, towering white cliff off jutting into the turbulent sea — inspired many ancient myths.
According to ancient sources and long-told local myths, lovers and tragic figures throughout the ages have thrown themselves from the craggy heights into the depths of the sea because of unrequited love, rejection, — and even human sacrifice.
