Lefkimmi ( Greek Λευκίμμη ( f. Sg. )) Is a municipality on the Greek island of Corfu . It was created as a community in 1986, expanded in 1997 and merged into the newly formed community of Kerkyra in 2010 , in which Lefkimmi is now one of the 15 community districts.

The core is the small town of the same name with 2935 inhabitants in the southeast of the Greek island of Corfu , which makes it the second largest town. The place itself was originally a fishing village and is still in a very pristine condition today, as it is not one of the typical tourist areas. In the old streets and the small shops you can experience the traditional, Corfiot everyday life.
