Holidays in Vathi

Holidays in Vathi are about escaping the rat race. This tiny harbour village on northern Meganissi feels a million miles from the modern world and is incredibly calming as a result.

Clustered round a picturesque bay framed by wooded hills, the village is quintessentially Ionian. Pastel-painted houses, affable tavernas and pretty chapels border the harbour, which is frequented by yachts and small ferries from Nidri on neighbouring Lefkas. But don't think you're in for endless activity. Peace rules the day, making it the ideal spot to sit over chilled beers, feast on feta-topped salads and watch the slow perambulations of village life. And come sundown, things get even better, as twinkling tavernas set their tables at the water's edge.

Meganissi's beaches add to the charm of holidays in Vathi. From the town, roads and mule tracks lead to secret pebble and sandy beaches, and the fishing hamlets of Katomeri and Spartohori. And if you're imagining messing around in boats on Vathi holidays, you won't be disappointed. Hiring a motorcraft to explore Meganissi's coast is a must, as is taking the ferry to Lefkas for a shot of shopping and sightseeing.
