Geni

Vlicho bay with Vlicho village on the left and Geni peninsula on the right

Geni is both a village and peninsula near Nydri village, on the east side of Lefkada island. The peninsula encloses the large Vlicho bay and creates scenic harbor always full of yachts. High hills covered with trees and dense vegetation rise above the shore.

Geni is considered the more luxurious neighborhood of Nydri due to being quieter and less urbanized. The waterfront accommodations have mooring points and access to boat ramps for those who come by boat. The tavernas by the sea have their tables places even on the small piers. There are villas and holiday homes along the shore, most of them situated on the west seafront, boasting views of the bay. Although there are fewer villas on the east side, they have no less magnificent views - to Meganisi island and the islets of Skorpidi, Sparti, Skorpios and Maduri.

The area toward Vlicho bay has no beaches and there are also many boats so people go elsewhere to swim. The closest place suitable for swimming is Desimi beach, at the base of the peninsula. Desimi is covered with coarse sand mixed with pebbles and has crystal clear water. There are also a few tiny beaches hidden in the coastline and accessible only by boat, as Lakka is the most popular of them.

Vlicho village is on the west side of the bay and opposite Geni. The village is 2km long, with a line of houses, shops, tavernas, rental and boat services along the sea.
