Vasiliki
Wide southern bay, a windsurfing capital, with a tavern-lined harbour and a laid-back mood.
Vasiliki is a seaside resort in the south of the island, famous across the Mediterranean for windsurfing: the wide bay gathers a steady, reliable afternoon wind, perfect for beginners and experts alike. But it is not only about sport: the harbour, with its tavernas, cafes and bars, has a friendly small-town character and comes pleasantly alive in the evening, so the area also suits couples looking to unwind. Boats leave from here for the beautiful Agiofili beach, and there is a ferry to Kefalonia and Ithaca.
Why you'll like it

Keep in mind
