Ioanian Sea. Vassiliki
December 5, 2007
VASSILIKI’s port is located in the south-east of Lefkas deep in the large synonymous bay. In the west side of this bay – close to village Pondi – is a nice anchorage (4-8m depth). The actual port is located in the east of the bay and is very shallow. Just stay close to the breakwater. A natural spring favors this part of the island and runs through the south of Vassiliki. Here you can swim from the village’s long, flat beach or go to Cape Lefkata or Sappho’s Leap, the most southerly cape on the island. There once stood a shrine to Apollo. Here, too, they say that the poet Sappho took her life, flinging herself from the white cliffs, a hopeless victim of her unrequited love for Phaon.
