"Nous avions réservé ce logement au mois de mai pour trois jours mi août. Une fois sur place, nous avons été informés par l’agence qui visiblement gère plusieurs appartements, que notre location n’était plus disponible et nous ont proposé un autre appartement à 20mn en voiture pour une prestation largement inférieure car situé dans les terres, sans vue sur mer et d’une surface bien inférieure à l’appartement que nous avions réservé à l’origine pour quatre personnes….

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Nikiana is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Nikiana for beaches is along the main coastline, particularly around the central part of the village.

This area is stretched along the main coastal road, offering direct access to several lovely beaches and coves. You'll find a mix of larger, organised beaches with sun loungers and parasols, as well as smaller, more secluded spots. Many hotels and apartments are situated right on or very close to the water, providing easy beach access. The main harbour, with its selection of tavernas and cafes, is also easily reachable from here.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area perfect. They can enjoy leisurely days by the sea, with the convenience of having dining options and a pleasant evening stroll along the harbour just a short walk away. The calm, clear waters are ideal for swimming and sunbathing.

Families will also appreciate staying along this stretch of coastline. The proximity to the beaches means less travel time with children, and many of the beaches offer shallow entry points, making them suitable for younger swimmers.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Nikiana?
The best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Nikiana is during the summer high season, particularly in July and August. These months boast the warmest temperatures, averaging around 29°C, and the sea is perfectly inviting for swimming and water sports.

This period is fantastic for enjoying Nikiana's stunning beaches and all the activities they offer, from relaxing on the sand to trying out paddleboarding or snorkelling in the clear Ionian waters. The longer daylight hours mean you can make the most of every sunny day. Families often find these months ideal for a beach holiday, as the consistent sunshine and warm waters are great for children's activities.

As another option, June is a wonderful alternative. The weather is still beautifully warm, with temperatures hovering around 26°C, and the sea is already comfortable for swimming.
What beach activities should we do in Nikiana?
While Nikiana is a lovely village, it's not primarily known for extensive beach activities directly within the village itself. Most of the popular beach activities and the best beaches are found a short drive away.

The main beach in Nikiana is a shingle beach. It's perfectly fine for a relaxing swim or sunbathing, and you'll find a few tavernas and cafes right along the waterfront. It's a nice spot for a quiet afternoon by the sea.

For those looking for more active beach experiences, you'll want to head to the west coast of Lefkada. Beaches like Kathisma and Porto Katsiki are famous for their stunning turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, offering excellent opportunities for swimming and sunbathing. Some of these larger beaches also have facilities for watersports like paddleboarding or snorkelling.

If you're interested in boat trips, you can often arrange these from Nikiana's small harbour.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Nikiana for you.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Nikiana with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards program—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Nikiana beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals. *Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
How much does a beach hotel in Nikiana cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Nikiana vary, but you can find a great deal from AU$59 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Is it cheaper to book a Nikiana beach hotel and flights as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
