Ithaca
Your day starts with a long sail toward the south of Ithaca, having a first swim stop at Talaros beach, where you can snorkel in its crystalline blue-green waters, and have a snack/ drink at the end.
20 minutesGidaki beach
Not long after, we will set course towards the paradise on earth, called Gidaki Beach. Gidaki is considered by many people the best beach in Ithaca, while it is often ranked among the best beaches in Greece! The turquoise blue waters and the natural landscape with the scenic, lush vegetation impress every visitor. It's a pebbled beach with larger pebbles on the western side and smaller ones on the east. The bay is open, ideal for swimming from one side to the other.
40 minutesIthaca
As soon as we leave, another highlight stop awaits, Skinos bay beach, where we prepare our lunch which is served on board along with soft drinks, beers, and local wine. Skinos is the bay to the east of Ithaca, with the homonymous beach. It is surrounded by pine trees and the scenery is breathtaking.
1 hour 10 minutesFiliatro Beach
After lunch, we keep on sailing to the east coast of Ithaca and Filiatro Beach is our last selected spot for the day. The waters of Filiatro's bay are calm, warm, and smooth, ideal for swimming. Once we have taken our fill of this little gem of Ithaca, we sail back to Agia Efimia arriving at the port around 18:00.
