Vasiliki or Vassiliki is a lovely little coastal town on the Ionian Sea in Lefkada, Greece.
Initially, my friend and I only wanted to take a one day stop in Vasiliki since it was our port of exit to go to Kefalonia (Fiskardo). However, just a few minutes into the town, we knew we would be extending our stay.
2 Day Vasiliki Itinerary – How to Spend 48 Hours in Vasiliki?
This was our laid back Vasiliki itinerary, which you can also follow if you are like us and just spending a couple of days relaxing in this quaint little town.
Day 1 in Vasiliki
As soon as we got off our bus from Lefkada town into Vasiliki and dragged our suitcases on the short coastal walk to our hotel, we knew we would love this place.
The waters looked so blue, and we could see kitesurfers & taverns dotting the beach. Vasiliki has such a cool small town vibe; we never even expected it.
We were so excited to explore that we quickly dumped our bags at our lovely Orfeas room hotel and got beach ready in our bikinis.
We went to the nearest beach – Vasiliki beach – which was a short 10 mins walk from us. The beach was flocked with kitesurfers and lovely restaurants and beach bars.
After a quick yoga session the beach, we went in search of traditional Greek food. I found a place called To Kyma mentioned on another travel blog so we went for this personal recommendation.
At To Kyma, we had a delicious fish, soup and sides – this was heavenly and indeed so authentic.
Afterwards, we stopped at Club Vass for a beer. We found out that this place was hosting a Harry Potter-themed DJ + BBQ night. This meant one thing – Parttttty!!!
Quickly, we went back for a shower and to get dressed up.
Club Vass was a great place and we had a lovely time chatting with expats and learning about the increasing popularity of Vasiliki.
A walk around town gave us some more options of bars like Tunnel Rock and Zeus, though Club Vass was surely our favorite.
Day 2 in Vasiliki
The next day, we had a hearty breakfast at the Old Fisherman’s tavern along with some red wine. It was the perfect setting by the sea.
After fueling up, we set off for an hour-long winding uphill walk to Agiofili beach.
It was totally worth it and this turned out to be one of the top 2 beaches in Greece for me – that’s a big honor considering I am a big time beach bum.
After spending all day at Agiofili, my friend and I headed back to the main town. I hitched a ride since I was too tired from the walk up, and she walked back.
The evening was quiet as we walked around to grab dinner and drinks around sunset. Lucky for us, we found the perfect spot – Serani restaurant.
It’s right on Vasiliki beach, and we enjoyed delicious traditional curries here whilst watching the sun set over the hilltop.
That night we also tried the best burgers in Greece – yep in the entire country and perhaps the best I ever tried.
This was at FatBoys Burger & Beer bar on the main strip. It is open till 1 am so a perfect midnight munchy option if you so feel it.
Last day which was day 3 was spent packing and catching our ferry to Fiskardo (Kefalonia).
We left Vasiliki feeling re-energised, well fed and well rested. Perfect little town for a quiet getaway.
