Perched high above the bay of Vasiliki, with uninterrupted panoramic views that stretch across the glittering Ionian Sea to the neighbouring islands of Kefalonia and Ithaca, this newly built villa is an inviting retreat. 

From its elevated position, the peaceful surroundings, fresh sea breezes and continuous coastal vistas create a wonderfully serene holiday setting, equally suited to lazy days by the pool or exploring this picturesque southern corner of Lefkada.

Perfectly presented, the villa blends modern comfort with understated style. Clean lines, natural materials and neutral tones make for a bright and airy interior, where large picture windows and expansive glass doors ensure the mesmerising views remain centre stage. The open-plan living accommodation flows seamlessly out to a spacious and partly covered terrace, a natural gathering point for sun-drenched breakfasts, slow lunches or evening drinks with the shimmering lights of the bay below. Open tread stairs lead up to the bedrooms and first floor shower room.

The private swimming pool and sun terrace are ideally placed to catch the sun from dawn until dusk. Whether enjoying a refreshing dip or reclining on a sun lounger with a good book and a glass of something chilled, the views provide a truly special backdrop.

The nearest taverna can be found 800m down the hill and all other amenities, including a variety of restaurants, can be found along the coastal road and in Vasiliki old town. The sandy beach of Ponti is at the western edge of Vasiliki bay, from here guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the shore, a mixture of sand, shingle and small pebbles, to the selection of tavernas within the harbour.

Lefkada oozes natural charm and unspoilt beauty, with a coastline of Blue Flag beaches. Amongst the most popular are Porto Katsiki (12km) and Egremni (13.5km) on the island’s dramatic west coast, both breathtakingly scenic, postcard-perfect, and frequently listed in Europe’s top ten.

Newly added to our Lefkada portfolio, and owned by the same charming proprietors of Sunrise View and Sunrise Vista which sit below, all 3 properties have the ingredients for a memorable island escape.

  • The property driveway, while wide and paved, is sharply inclined.

Great Things to Do Near Azzurro

Try scuba diving

Whether you’re an experienced diver or are just trying it out for the first time, local diving centre offer internationally recognised diving courses, which teach you techniques, take you out to open water and let you dive freely around the impressive Lefkada coastline. Experiences range from a 4-5 hour session to courses lasting a few days.

Aghia Mavra Castle

Although a lot of the ancient ruins on the island have been destroyed over the years by earthquakes, one of the structures still standing is the Castle of Aghia Mavra. This partially ruined fortress is located north of Lefkada Town, set between a beautiful natural lagoon and the sea. It was built in 1300 by Ioannis Orsini when he bought the island of Lefkada as a wedding gift for his bride and was primarily constructed as a first defence against invaders and pirates.

Island of Skorpios

Take a boat day trip and sail around the famous island of Skorpios, once home to Aristotle Onassis and where he and his family have been laid to rest.

Rent a boat

Take advantage of the proximity to Sivota Bay and rent a boat for the day in order to visit the nearby islands of Skorpios or Meganisi, the beach at Mikros Gialos or the Papanikolis sea cave, also on Meganisi. Please be aware that you need a license to hire certain boats.

Eat out in Vasiliki

Head into Vasiliki for a meal in the old town or on the quayside overlooking the boats in the harbour.

Take a walk around the Dimosari waterfalls

Nestled into the hills and forests above the coastal village of Nydri, the Dimosari waterfalls are a haven of beauty and tranquillity. Put on your most comfortable shoes and spend the morning walking around and exploring this impressive landscape. The waterfalls form small pools among the rocks on the hillside, so take your swimwear with you as you may be tempted to take a dip in warm weather!

Spend a day on Ithaca…

Ithaca, the second smallest of all the islands in the Ionian Sea (after Paxos) is well known around the world from Homer's epic poems 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey' and his central hero Ulysses. You can catch the ferry from Vasiliki or from Nydri, which takes around an hour, and spend the day exploring this historic island full of tradition, legend and myth!

Egremni Beach – one of the most beautiful in Greece!

Located on the west coast of the island, Egremni is a 2km stretch of white sand and cobalt blue waters and can either be accessed by boat from Vasiliki or Nydri, or by descending around 350 steps which take you down to the sand. You can park at the top of the steps. The seclusion and views from this beach will be worth the effort!

Papanikolis Sea Cave, Meganisi

This cave is the second largest cave in Greece and is believed to have been the hideaway for the Papanikolis submarine during the Second World War. The cave can only be reached from the water, and boats can be rented from Nydri on the east coast or from Sivota in the south.

Water sports

If you are like water sports, you are in luck at Vasiliki! Clubs along the seafront offer surfing lessons and equipment rentals, to suit both beginners or the more experienced.

Mikros Gialos Beach

Hop in the car and drive to the beach at Mikros Gialos. This beautiful sandy bay has a variety of bars and restaurants to explore as well as gorgeous white sands and turquoise waters to be enjoyed. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas here as well, so there’s no excuse to not relax!

A visit to Nikopolis in Preveza

As Lefkada is within easy reach of mainland Greece, it is absolutely feasible to drive over to Preveza and head for the World Heritage site of Nikopolis. You can visit the amazing museum and walk around the old city of Nikopolis.

Bird watching at the Lefkada lagoons

The two lagoons that border Lefkada Town’s northern coastline, Divari and Ivaria, are an incredible habitat for many varieties of flora and fauna. The abundance of long light rushes and grasses provide the perfect shelter for many birds throughout the year, whilst some migratory breeds only arrive during the warm summer months. One special visitor are the pink flamingos, which use the waters for feeding between May and August while the weather is at its warmest. Other breeds you may spot at these sea lakes are cormorants, herons, swans and white egrets.

Lefkada Town

Lefkada Town is the capital of the island. Like most Mediterranean capitals, you will find a charming labyrinth of streets with shops and restaurants in abundance. However, unlike many towns, Lefkada Town also has a glorious natural lagoon which fills with flamingos in the summer months, as well as a beautiful natural beach to the north of the town. From this beach you will have an amazing view of the mainland as well as Paxos and Anti Paxos. Spend a day exploring the area and don’t forget your camera!

The Gramophone and Radio Museum

Tucked behind the busy streets of Lefkada Town, you will find this charming museum with its collection of classic gramophones and radios. A lot of care has been taken to ensure these beautiful machines are kept in good condition. Look out for the sign on the main street in the town indicating the way to the museum.

Try the local dishes…

Although we can buy Greek produce in the UK, there is never anything as good as the real thing. Wherever possible, choose local and traditional dishes and sample the produce grown on the island. Seek out some deep fried feta cheese drizzled with honey as a starter, or try fresh tzatziki with fresh bread as a mid-afternoon snack.
