Agios Vasillis is a tiny group of houses (and of course, as in every Greek village, a lovely church) 200 meters off the ‘back road' that goes under the bridge from Almirida up the hill to Xirosterni (eventually). Permanent residents are in single figures. There are some houses that are being /have been renovated - along with a few ‘new builds'.
There are no shops / kafenions in the ‘village.' In reality it doesn't matter as it's less than a 5 minute walk down to Almirida - although probably more than that coming back up the hill....
Agios Vasiliis was a deserted village a few years ago. Apparently the village had been abandoned some 30 -40 years ago after a feud developed amongst few the residents, someone was shot and everyone left. Recently, people have started to breathe life back in to the village. There are some nice new stone houses with great sea views and other renovated stone houses. It's a lovely place - with great Mountain views and in some places also magnificent sea views.
