Vathiavali Beach
Drop anchor off Vathiavali Beach and swim into remarkably clear, blue water in this relaxed corner of the Ionian coast, about 8 km west of the town of Palairos. There's a beach bar ashore if you want a drink, and a fast boat transfer service runs between here and the beach for around €15, so getting to the sand is easy. It's a laid-back, unhurried spot that rewards those willing to seek it out.
