With crystal clear blue waters that make you think you&#8217;re in a foreign and exotic destination. Some of them are well known, and others are less. A beach that you will definitely want to visit when you see it, and you will want to swim in its waters<strong>.<\/strong> The reason for <strong>Vathiavali beach<\/strong> is located in Aitoloakarnania. Images speak for themselves, especially when you look at them from above.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vathiavali in Aitolokarnania: The secret beach that only sailors knew<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vathiavali beach is located just a few kilometers from the equally beautiful Palero in Aitoloakarnania. Very close to Pogonia. So there you will see a beach that looks a lot like the exotic side of Lefkada. It could be, after all, many, many years ago, part of Lefkada. The whole scenery, with the green landscape and the white sand it reminds you of Lefkada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vathiavali has the crystal clear and turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea in combination with a virgin green landscape<\/strong>. It was a beach unknown for many years. In recent times, of course, it gained more and more fanatical visitors who choose this particular beach for their swimming. Only the sailors knew this secret coast with its exotic look.<\/p>\n<p>The beach is partly organized, and you will find umbrellas and sunbeds there. There are<strong>\u00a0always places, though, to put your own equipment, umbrella, and fish.<\/strong> I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll enjoy your swimming whenever you visit it. Since 2013, there has also been a canteen where you can buy anything you want.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to get to Vathiavali Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The exotic beach of Aitoloakarnania is not easily accessible, and for this reason, it was for many years isolated and had few visitors.
