The contrast of the southern part of Lefkada stretches on the plain grounds in the valley of Vassiliki. A traditional fishing village that has over the past years increasingly become a magnet to visitors longing for one of the finest spots for windsurfing in Europe.

With the highest mountain of the island in the background, the safe a wide bay of Vassiliki presents

view of the neighbouring islands of Ithaki and Cephalonia in the foreground.

Here, the adventurous visitor may set off for an excursion with one of the ferryboats leaving daily from Vassiliki harbour to Cephalonia or Ithaki, known as homeland of Odysseus.
