User reviews
"The pebble beach is incredibly peaceful and serene, with an abundance of olive trees providing ample shade. There are sun beds available for rent at 10€ per couple, as well as a bar serving refreshing drinks and appetizers. We had no trouble accessing the beach on foot from Vathy."
Kira Delgado
"This beach near Vathi is quiet and pleasant. The water is crystal clear, just like in other parts of the island. There are plenty of shaded areas and a beach bar. However, if you're only staying in Ithaca for a short time, I wouldn't suggest visiting this beach as there are more stunning beaches to explore."
