Villa Fankri is located just 1km from the scenic village of Vasiliki, with the beautiful sandy beach just 20-meters away. The beach is a luxury treat for water sports lovers and families with kids, offering a sandy coastline and shallow waters, that are safe for everyone to enjoy! Vasiliki sits at the centre of South Lefkada, internationally known as one of the top-10 beaches for windsurfing around the world.
If you are a fan of boat trips, then the marina at Vasiliki offers trips out to the beautiful beaches, including Agiofilli beach. The entire island is popular with boaters, with yachts for international tourists and locals alike, ready for you to explore the hidden magic along the coastline!
Lefkada itself is easily reached from the mainland via a causeway, so you can rent a car for your convenience and explore the island on the way to the villa. Aktion International Airport is just 38km away by car, whilst Athens is 408km away. Perfect for family holidays the island is filled with stunning beaches, luscious green valleys and soaring mountains. Combine all this with the friendly locals and relaxed, care-free atmosphere, the setting is perfect for a restorative, unforgettable holiday!
If you are looking for a day excursion away from the villa, then the Nydri waterfall is a beautiful spot to travel to, less than 30km from the villa’s front door. After driving to the waterfall, you can enjoy a scenic hike through olive and citrus groves and over rocks to the glistening pool at the bottom of the falls. You can swim in the refreshing water canyon, watching the waterfall from above.
The food on Lefkada is similar to mainland Greece and the rest of the Mediterranean area, with the magical addition of breath-taking mountain views from many of the local eateries! Make sure you try a local moussaka and some souvlaki, or for vegetarians the fried cheese, delicious Greek salads and zingy dips, all of course, served with traditional bread.
In Vasiliki, a short distance from the villa are two supermarkets, plenty of cafes and restaurants as well as bars to enjoy nightlife. There are also many bakeries where you can buy fresh bread, honey and other local products, so you have everything you need nearby!
