Two kilometres south of Nidri on the east side of the bay, Geni is a quiet, wooded corner. There is no beach, but the location is ideal for a quiet lunch or dinner in idyllic surroundings by the sea.

Wilhelm Dörpfeld (26 December 1853 – 25 April 1940) was a German architect and archaeologist, a pioneer of stratigraphic excavation and precise graphical documentation of archaeological projects.

The German archaeologist, believed Lefkada to have been Homer’s Ithaca even before his excavations began, as he had recognised some locations on the island that fit Homer’s description of Odysseus’ island.
