Itinerary
- Your day starts with a long sail toward the east of Ithaca, having a first swim stop at ''the paradise on earth'', called Gidaki Beach, where you can snorkel in its crystalline blue-green waters, and have a snack/ drink at the end. 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 and ideal for swimming from one side to the other. (40 min)
- 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. (1h 15min)
- After lunch, we will set course towards to the south coast of Ithaca and Talaros Beach (Pera Pigadia Bay) is our last selected spot for the day. The waters of Pigadia'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 after 17:00. (40 min)
