VASSILIKI

Imagine a deep bay where the shimmering azure waters of the Ionian meet rugged mountains, and you’ll get a fair idea of what the quaint village of Vassiliki looks like. Located on the southern shores of Lefkada, Vassiliki has emerged as a hotspot for windsurfing and watersports enthusiasts, as the thermal wind sweeping the area in the summer creates optimal conditions for windsurfing! 

Its long beach, which stretches just 200 meters from Heliotropia Houses, is another thing that makes Vassiliki an irresistible pole of attraction for beachgoers and nature lovers. Combining tranquil spots and upbeat beach bars, Vassiliki Beach is perfect for all types of travelers! Hiking trails and hidden coves with crystalline, turquoise waters can also be found in the wider area, inviting visitors to discover them and reconnect with nature.

What’s more, local taverns and restaurants make Vassiliki a great spot for savoring the local cuisine. Right next to the accommodation, you’ll find a supermarket, where you can get everything you need. A small cafe lies just 50 meters from Heliotropia, while a bakery can be found just 200 meters away.

From Vassiliki Port, which lies around 600 meters away, you can also set off on a day-trip to cosmopolitan Fiscardo in Kefalonia, as well as on excursions to the stunning beaches of Porto Katsiki and Egremni, whose turquoise waters and wild beauty have earned them international renown. The spell-binding Agiofili Beach is also not far from Vassiliki, and can be easily reached both by car and via excursion boats.
