Viles Beach

Viles Beach, also referred to as Vasilikos, is a picturesque location situated on the southern part of Zakynthos island. This area is known for its lush vegetation, including a large pine forest, and its sandy beaches. The region is primarily residential, with a collection of houses scattered across the countryside interspersed with luxurious Mediterranean complexes and beachfront spaces.

Viles Beach is nestled in a secluded bay, characterized by its unique mix of sand and small pebbles. The beach is accessible via a small path, adding a sense of privacy and tranquility to the beach experience. The beach is renowned for its stunning sunsets and vibrant colors. It has also been a popular spot for fishing, particularly during the winter months.

Despite its seclusion, Viles Beach has faced challenges with littering in the past. However, successful clean-up efforts have helped maintain the beach's charm and appeal. The path to the beach goes through residential areas and a site where waste is sometimes improperly disposed of, which visitors should be aware of.

The Vasilikos area, where Viles Beach is located, is well-connected to the rest of Zakynthos island via regular bus routes. Independent exploration of the island is also possible, with options to rent cars, jeeps, motorcycles, or bicycles. The area features mini markets, bakeries, and tourist shops, albeit with a more limited selection than other parts of the island.

While not known for its nightlife, Vasilikos does offer a range of dining options, including traditional taverns and restaurants where visitors can enjoy local seafood. During the day, the beaches provide recreational activities such as beach volleyball and water sports.
