Vlicho is a small village of Lefkada island, located on the east coast, just a few kilometers away from the southern side of Nidri. The houses of the village 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 everybody will meet Vlicho who travel by car or by scooter between Nidri and Vasiliki. In front of the village, which is known also as Vlycho or Βλυχό in Greek language, you can see the hills of Yenion peninsula, and a shallow lagoon.

What to find in Vlicho

Due to geographical conditions the village is quite long and narrow, Vlicho only consists a few streets. On the main street, which leads between the houses and the lagoon, there can be find the local restaurants, a mini market and a bakery. Beside the road there is a roadwalk for pedestrians, which connects to each other the tourist facilites. On the southern side of Vlicho was built a small playground with swings and climbing frames for children.

Vlicho is known well from its ship repair facilities, which were built betweeen the village and Nidri. If you drive through the village, next to the bay you can see dozens of boats which are under construction. Next to the road there is a port for smaller and larger boats.

Due to the boat repair activities the bay in front of Vlicho isn’t recommended for a swim, and there are no organized beaches at all. The sea is usually contiminated with oil and other dark-coloured lubricants here, and the shallow water of Vlicho bay refreshes slowly. The nearest beaches, which are recommended for swim in Lefkada: Desimi beach 3 kilometers away, Nidri beach 6 kilometers away, and Mikros Gialos beach 10 kilometers away.

There are two petrol stations of Lefkada near Vlycho, in its north and in its southern sides both. In the direction of Nidri there can be find a car wash for vehicles.
