The town's main street is Derpfeld Street (οδός Ντέρπφελντ), pedestrianised today, named after the famous German archaeologist Willhelm Derpfeld, who carried out important excavations in Lefkada at the beginning of the 20th century. Derpfeld Street is home to some of the city's most notable buildings as well as the most well-preserved old churches. Many of the city's old churches were built during the 17th century and are in the Baroque style . Due to the high seismicity of the area, almost all bell towers are made of metal.

Years later, in 1994, Jeffrey Dahmer would do his own crossing over of a different kind in this same locale.

# Portage

There is more than one place called Portage, or with "portage" as part of its name. Historically, a portage is a place where travellers would carry their canoes and cargo around rapids or from one waterway to another. The word is derived from the French verb porter meaning "to carry"; several other words which occur in both French and English, such as "portable" and "portmanteau", are from the same root.
There are dozens of portages from the old fur trade routes, used by voyageurs (French for travellers) mainly based in Montreal, all over Western Canada and the Northwestern US. Not all of them have "portage" in the name; for example Sault Sainte Marie (Ontario) and Sault Sainte Marie (Michigan) are at an old portage, but the word "sault" describes the rapids there; a literal translation is "leap".

### Canada

* Portage la Prairie, often abbreviated to just "Portage", a city in Manitoba
* Portage Avenue is a major street in downtown Winnipeg; the corner of Portage & Main is generally considered the center of the city

### New Zealand

* The area that is now Auckland had Maori portage routes between the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean. Today there are two streets called Portage Road, in different parts of the city.

### United States of America

* Grand Portage - Part of a historic fur trade route, with both a State Park and a National Monument, on the Minnesota-Ontario border.
* Portage (Indiana) - A small city in Indiana.
* Portage (Michigan) - A small city in Michigan.
* Portage (Wisconsin) - A town in Wisconsin.
* Portage Park - A district of Northwest Chicago.
What is now a popular recreational canoe route in the Adirondacks is known as the "seven carries"; the name is a translation of "sept portages".

## Stay safe
### Phosphorus

Like in other parts of the Baltic Sea, phosphorus from dumped ammunitions is sometimes washed ashore, especially around Peenemünde with its military past. Phosphorus is poisonous, ignites spontaneously when dried and can look deceptively like amber, which leads to occasional accidents. If you collect pieces of amber, don't keep them in your pocket. Put them into a vessel that you keep away from your body until you are sure it is actually amber and not phosphorus. Extinguish burning phosphorus with sand rather than water.
