Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Ponti”, 298 m from the beach)
Vasiliki beach in Lefkada is a global reference point for windsurfing and kitesurfing. In the afternoon, the thermal meltemi wind 'Erik' strengthens like clockwork, creating ideal conditions. The shore is pebbly, with moderate natural bay protection. Ideal for those seeking action and wind.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces south. With northerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell. For kite and windsurf, look for days with southerly winds of 4+ Beaufort.
The shore faces south (170°), so from December to December the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northerly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
