Vlicho Nidri Lefkada

Vlicho (Vlycho) is a small village of Lefkada Island, which is located on the east coast, just a few kilometers away from the southern side of Nidri. The houses of the Vlycho were built on a narrow place, where the slopes of the mountains and the sea meet. The main road which leads on the east coast of Lefkada passes through the village, so literally everyone drive through Vlicho, who travel by car or by scooter between Nidri and Vasiliki.
