Lefkada, also known as Lefkas, is an island characterized by its lush landscape and stunning beaches. Its hilly terrain is dotted with picturesque villages like Lazarata. Visitors can explore the island's trails by hiking or cycling, taking in the scenic views. Notable sites include Skari Mountain with its ancient oak trees, the Melissa Gorge, the Dafni and Kersia water springs, and Elati Mountain.

Karya, a mountain village, is known for its bustling central square shaded by a large tree and its traditional Karysaniki embroidery.
Lazarata, situated northeast of Karya and surrounded by cypress trees and mountainous scenery, is the closest village to Villa Prase. It features two significant churches, Agios Dionissis and Agios Spiridonas, as well as cafes, restaurants, a bakery, and shops. The village is encircled by vineyards, olive groves, citrus plantations, and red-roofed houses. Nearby, the quieter villages of Asprogeratkata, Kavallos, and Pinakochori can be found. Organized mountain bike tours offer a unique way to explore the island, sometimes including visits to the neighbouring island of Meganisi. Despite its beauty, Lefkas remains relatively undiscovered by mass tourism.
