Vlicho

Vlicho is village next to the sea on the east side of Lefkada island, spread along the road. The village gives the name to Vlicho bay which is enclosed from the sea by Geni peninsula. The village is very narrow and the houses are arranged in 2 lines along the sea. The first line of houses is actually on the main island road which can generate noise especially during the summer season. On one side of Vlicho are the villages of Katochori and Fterno, and on the other is the popular and busy Nydri.

The shoreline of Vlicho is occupied by numerous small shipyards, yachts and boats to rent, boat ramps and various boat related facilities. The place is popular with people who come to learn sailing or arrive with their own boat. Some hotels have direct access to mooring facilities and concrete ramps going from the road directly into the sea. Right between the boats there are tavernas with tables by the sea, local dishes and fresh seafood.

The closest beach is Desimi, covered with a mixture of coarse sand and pebbles. The best beach in that part of Lefkada is Poros (Mikros Gialos), which is 17km away in Vasiliki direction. Boat sailors may disagree because they have also access to other beaches and even to the islets just outside Vlicho bay.
