Where?

Vliho is a village next to the sea on the east side of Lefkada island, spread along the road.

The village gives the name to Vliho 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. Vliho Bay is a very large, well sheltered anchorage which has some good, rather other-worldly tavernas dotted around its coast.

  • Lefkada Island
  • Ionian Islands Region
  • Greece
Why?

Our Vliho base is an ideal spot to spend a dream sailing holiday starting from Lefkada.

From there you can discover the large islands of Kefalonia, Ithaca, Zante or the smaller islands of Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Atokos to the south by sailboat avoiding the very busy Lefkada harbour/marina and the narrow canal / bridge.

Directly out of Vliho Bay is Scorpios private island.

  • Easy Access to the nearby Islands
  • Avoiding Narrow Canal
  • Avoiding Busy Marina/Harbour
  • Avoiding Delays for Refuelling
