Vasilikos Holidays

Tourism for the good

Many people will argue that bringing tourism into a town has a number of big disadvantages. The people of Vasilikos however probably welcomed it with open arms. Until the late 20th century when tourism made an appearance in the village, Vasilikos was completely cut off of all electricity and had no pavements. It was only after it started to become a popular holiday destination that they decided to spruce things up a bit. When you step onto the beach you might wonder why they ever wanted pavement or electricity, the golden sands and warm clear sea is enough to keep anyone happy. Of course then you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the romantic fairy lights strung from taverna to taverna along the beachfront. It’s all very romantic.

A beach lover’s paradise

One of the biggest attractions of Vasilikos, apart from its new-fangled electricity and pavements, are the beaches. Holidays in Vasilikos are not complete without trying out at least one of the beautiful stretches of sand. The sea bed slopes gently making it ideal for young children, while the sand is just right for castle-building. There are many areas in Zante where water sports are prohibited because of the nesting turtles but you can jet-ski as much as you like on a Vasilikos holiday. There are water sport centres dotted along the beaches that give pros the equipment they desire and beginners the tips and tricks of the trade. If you want to travel along the beach on alternative transport, saddle up and have a go at horse-riding. There’s nothing more refreshing than trotting along the sand with the waves lapping at your hooves!
