No, Lefkimmi is a large, working Corfiot town. While it welcomes visitors, its primary character is that of a local community hub rather than a purpose-built tourist destination.
Yes, Lefkimmi Port is one of the main departure points for ferries to Paxos and the mainland port of Igoumenitsa. It's a convenient alternative to the main port in Corfu Town.
This is the Potami River. It's a charming feature of the old part of town, and a lovely place for a quiet walk or a coffee at one of the traditional kafenions along its banks.
