Sea Kayaking Trip in Ithaca

Vathy-Shinos Bay-Gidaki Beach-Filiatro Beach-Vathy
The all time classic day trip in Ithaca. During this sea kayaking trip we explore two of the most famous beaches of Ithaca: Gidaki and Filiatro. We visit Lazareto islet in the middle of Vathy harbor, we paddle around Skartsoumponisi island at the exit of the harbor, we pass from the traditional chapel of Saint Andrews and we stop in Shinos bay for swimming and snorkeling. Then we explore the fossilized sedimentary coastline before Gidaki beach and we swim and snorkel in the light blue waters of Gidaki bay.

Finally we arrive at Filitro bay were we can relax before we will head back to Vathy town. If the group has only strong paddlers that they are happy to paddle more we can continue to Sarakiniko beach and paddle along the vertical rocky coastline of cape Skotaria. There are more than 10 beaches in our way to stop for snorkeling swimming or just a break and we try to choose depending on the conditions the most secluded and beautiful ones.

Paddling distance:6 nautical miles
Difficulty Level: Easy
Beach bar available at the end of the trip (June to September)
