Geni holidays

Holidays to Geni base you in a quiet corner of Lefkas where boats almost outnumber people.

The village by the bay

The upmarket village of Geni snakes along the edge of Vlicho Bay, on the east coast of the Greek island of Lefkas. And if peace and quiet’s the priority for your next Greek getaway, you’re onto a winner with this place – it’s home to less than 100 people. As for its visitors, a lot of them arrive by boat. You’ll see mooring points outside most of the waterfront hotels and tavernas, and a dot-to-dot of yachts bobbing about in the bay. And when it’s time to swap the seafood and yacht spotting for some sand and pebbles, your nearest spot is Desimi Beach, five minutes’ drive south. Its calm waters mean paddleboarding and kayaking top the to-do list (as well as tanning, of course).
