Porto Katsiki, Pebble beach near Athani, Lefkada, Greece

Porto Katsiki is a beach at the foot of a concave pale limestone cliff on the southwest coast of Lefkada, near the Athani village and Cape Lefkatas. The shore is pebbly, made of small grey and white stones, and the water deepens to several metres inside the cove. A stairway leads down from the clifftop parking to the beach.

Porto Katsiki takes its name from the Greek for "goat port", said to recall a time when only goats could reach the cove. It became widely known in the mid-1990s, after a modern road network was built to the area. In November 2015 strong seismic shocks partially damaged the beach, and geologists expected it to recover naturally over time.

The name Porto Katsiki means "goat port", said to come from the time when only goats could reach the cove. Today boats from nearby Nidri bring day visitors to the shore, while others arrive on foot down the stairway from the cliff-top parking.

Access is via a stairway from the clifftop parking down to the beach; there is no lodging and camping is prohibited. The beach is pebbly, and the water deepens quickly inside the cove. Boats from Nidri bring visitors during the day, so the shore is busiest at midday.

The beach lies at the foot of a concave pale cliff, about 35 km from Lefkada town near Athani. Until a modern road network was built in the mid-1990s, the cove was little known; its Greek name, "goat port", recalls that only goats could once reach it.
