Just off the Palliki Peninsula's coast, lies the secluded paradise of Vardiani Island, veiled in an aura of mystery and allure. Extending gracefully eastward and broadening towards the west, this island is a repository of tales from its past, whispers echoing its former splendor, and an invitation to unravel its captivating charm. The island's name, thought to stem from the Italian words "vardia" or "guardiano," translating to "guardian," hints at its strategic role in safeguarding the bay's entrance. In 1824, directed by the Englishman Charles Napier, a majestic lighthouse, soaring to a height of 25 meters, was erected on the island. Its cylindrical tower and adjacent keeper's house stood as a guiding beacon for passing ships. Regrettably, the tower met its demise during Italian bombing in 1942 and succumbed to the ravages of the 1953 earthquake. Today, a smaller lighthouse stands in solemn tribute, faithfully illuminating the waters for navigating vessels.

Unlike the typical pristine white or golden sands, Xi Beach boasts a mesmerizing hue of striking red, casting an almost surreal spell upon its shores. As your toes sink into the fine, reddish sand, let the Ionian Sea's gentle caress and crystal-clear waters create a sensory symphony. The shallowness of the waters, stretching far from the coast, invites you to enjoy leisurely swims and invigorating dips in this coastal haven.

The wilder section provides a tranquil escape, where peace reigns supreme. For those yearning for added comfort, the organized area beckons with deck chairs, umbrellas, and traditional Greek restaurants, inviting you to relish culinary delights while basking in the warm embrace of the sun.
