Vatsa Bay, Bay and beach in southern Paliki peninsula, Kefalonia, Greece
Vatsa Bay is a bay and beach on the southern Paliki peninsula in Kefalonia, divided by a river that flows into the sea. The sand displays red and yellow tones mixed with pebbles, while the water is clear and blue.
Roman remains have been found here, including a mosaic with a trident and dolphins that now sits in the Archaeological Museum of Kefalonia. These discoveries show the bay has been visited and used for thousands of years.
Fishing families have long worked these waters, and you can still see small boats coming and going from the shore as part of daily life. The rhythm of the sea shapes how locals and visitors alike experience this place.
The beach sits roughly 10 kilometers from Lixouri and offers sunbeds and umbrellas for comfort. A floating platform helps cross the river, especially when water levels are higher.
Across the river sits a smaller hidden cove called Vrahinari, reachable via the floating platform. This tucked-away spot offers a quieter alternative for those seeking seclusion.
