Participate in boat tours and enjoy a variety of exciting water sports

If you prefer isolated, exotic beaches with blue-green waters, tour the island via an organized traditional boat excursion. You will have the chance to swim in the outstanding Platynammos beach with its all-white coarse sand, the turquoise waters and the towering cliffs of Afales bay surrounding it as well as famous Gidaki with the breathtaking azure waters.

Visit popular destinations on nearby islands (such as Fiskardo in Kefalonia and Porto Katsiki in Lefkada) or more pristine islets (such as Atokos, Kalamos, Kastos, Meganissi and uninhabited Atokos), all within a few miles from the northern part of the island. Alternatively, you may rent your own boat from Polis (the port of Stavros), Frikes, Kioni or Vathi to chart your own course and discover "your own" beach in secluded coves with surprisingly crystal clear waters.

Discover the magical seabed of Ithaca, protected by "NATURA" programs for its marine life, under the clear blue waters of the Ionian Sea: an unexplored galaxy, full of colors, life and sea caves (Manara, Sarakiniko, Oxopetra), ideal for diving, snorkeling and deep water solo climbing. Note that organized excursions are available.

For an unforgettable summer experience, you may also rent a kayak, canoe or sup from the organized beaches of Poli (near Olivea Premium Holiday Homes) and Filiatro (in southern Ithaca) or take part in organized kayak guide tours starting at Frikes or Vathy. Ithaca, with two sailing teams, excels in marine sports and recreational activities. ideal conditions for sailing and windsurfing prevail in Frikes, while Myrtera beach, near Ai Giannis, is the place for kite-surfing enthusiasts.
