About this experience

We meet at 8:30am in the yacht and set sail for our first stop Aspros Gialos Beach (or Polis beach as an alternative). We then sail to Kioni village, a neoclassical gem flowing amphitheatrically down to the sea. While sailing north, along Ithaca’s coast we see on the other hand side (left) the popular Fiscardo village in Kefalonia. After lunch, we keep on our sailing to the east coast of Ithaca and see the magnificent Vathy bay as well as other charming beaches. Our destination is now Gidaki Beach (or alternative Filiatro Beach). Gidaki is considered by many people the best beach in Ithaca, while it is often ranked among the best beaches in Greece. Once we have taken our fill of this little gem of Ithaca, we sail back to Agia Efimia arriving at the port around 18:30.
