Next to the floating bridge you van see the medieval castle of Santa Maura. You can visit it using the western gate all year long. The visitor can wander through the ruins that mainly date back to the Venetian Rule and visit the small church of Santa Maura that is an idea place for romantic weddings. From the crenels you enjoy the view of the channel, the lagoons and also the huge beach in the northeast of the castle. Both inside and outside the castle, nature continuously changes colors and the historical ruins reveal an aspect of Lefkada that only a few people are aware of.
