Kefalonia, Greece Vatsa Bay In Paliki Peninsula

The island of Kefalonia is a huge piece of island, and even though we have stayed for two weeks, we were a ways from having seen everything. The Paliki peninsula for example is one of the places that we would have desired to find out in advance and spend extra time with. We’ve only been here 1 day.


From Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, Dutchman and I took the ferry to Lixouri, the second biggest town in the island and the principle metropolis within the Paliki peninsula. The ferry carrier is going often at some point of the summer time months and it transports bikes and cars as properly, which is available for us as we are bringing our condominium scooter with us.

We spent the maximum of our afternoon at Xi Beach aka the Red Beach because of its crimson-orange sand coloration. Dutchman and I had been barely miffed for not having observed this seaside early in the vacation. But what are we able to do whilst Kefalonia is such a big island? We don’t need to be speeding to specific locations and hotel into ticking-the-bucket-list form of vacation. We want to take our time, delight in each moment and be spontaneous as properly while wanted.

After the relaxing seaside afternoon at Xi we proceeded to the south, to the path of Vatsa Bay to have a glance.

A week ago inside the excursion, we met an older English couple at the Myrtos Beach viewpoint in Erisos and we struck a touch communication with them approximately the island. They have been staying in Fiskardo and had been coming to Kefalonia for many years. However for this yr, and for the first time, they have decided to lease a car and discover a bit.

I tell you, many human beings do not get out in their resort or the village their inn is located for the duration of their whole 1 or 2 week excursion. Amazing huh?

The lady instructed me further approximately a piece of writing she examine in a journey mag lower back home. The story become about a cloistered bay in the Paliki peninsula that has its own resident bar and eating place positioned proper on the seaside. She persisted to say that the beach bar has handiest sand at the ground and that the Greek owner, Spyros cooks up scrumptious neighborhood treats for his guests. Because they have been going to Kefalonia for years already and have no longer set foot down south, they launched into a day avenue trip to check out the region. She stated that the Spiaggia Taverna (additionally referred to as as Vatsa Club and Spyros Taverna) changed into precisely as how the journey mag defined it.

So this by some means got us interested. We arrived in Vatsa Bay early within the evening. There were only a few human beings left in the bay as many have to have left and gone again to their inn rooms or residences. Just to set things immediately although. In Europe we've got longer days within the summer. In Greece sundown is after 21:00 while inside the Netherlands, it's miles 23:00 hours.

Dutchman loved Vatsa Bay and regretted a piece that we didn’t come earlier to experience the area. I might have wanted to have a little snack right here at the Spiagga Taverna even as I dig my feet within the sand and watch the waves gently roll up the shore. It’s a secluded area with a dramatic bay placing which makes the whole bayou quite unique. Grateful even though that the English couple gave us this tip.

But however we can’t deny the truth that we additionally loved very lots our chill out time at Xi Beach. Let’s just say that we are able to’t have the whole thing in life.

Spiaggia Taverna aka Vatsa Club aka Spyros Taverna - they're all the identical. A real seaside taverna I reckon.

If you do no longer wish the standard crowds at beaches in Paliki, then Vatsa Bay is a great alternative.
