    Beautiful beach with awesome green waters. Very relaxing place. However the cost of the umbrella and the sun beds is directly linked to:
    1) French government and financial bonds during the elections
    2) war in Ukraine and Palestine
    3) the latest Biden/Trump debate
    4) the tech glitch which affected the whole world on July 19th
    5) the real estate crisis in China

    Stopped here for lunch as part of boat tour of Ithaca. 4 or 5 restaurants surrounding the harbour each catering for different tastes with outdoor seating. Great for chilling out watching the sailing boats coming in and out of the harbour.

    A picturesque small natural port with pretty views. Lots of excellent restaurants, cafes and gift shops. Not your usual rowdy resort over run with British holiday makers letting the side down.
    A fabulous boat ride can take you out to Gidaki serviced beach. Car hire not essential but a shame not to explore this beautiful island.
    Beware of very fast cars and motorbikes speeding - yes I mean speeding - along the main seafront restaurant road. How the local authorities allow this I don’t understand? Even the waiters take their lives into their own hands crossing the road with food. Accidents waiting to happen.

    The monastery has a very tranquil atmosphere. We visited just after a coach had left so it was very quiet. The church is impressive for its stained glass and gold ornaments and is still used for special services. The views from beside the bell tower are wonderful looking down across the bay to Varthy.

    A festival is held each year at Polis Bay on the Sunday nearest the 1st October. A priest blesses the local fishing boats, and then there is lots food and local wine.
    It is great fun but gets very busy and parking is difficult. Lots of locals gather to celebrate as it marks the end of the tourist season. Visitors are made very welcome too.

    The road to Kaminia has been improved recently - it is a little bumpy but very driveable. The beach bar is fantastic, great food, music and friendly service. The beach itself is one of the best on Ithaca. Highly recommend.

    It is our fav beach on Ithaka indeed.
    You can drive there, a few minutes going by safe stairs then.
    Water is more refreshing due to stream and wind, but it is the cleanest beach too.
    Calm in the morning, while getting windy afternoon.
    Quite deep waters, so do not leave kids without attention even a second.
    Otherwise recommended!

    This is a pretty harbour but it will take you about 5 minutes to look round. So take a book and sit in the sun or, better still, at a taverna with a glass of wine.

    Walking distance from Vathy, tricky path down or 5 minutes extra down road. Very quite beach, lovely safe swim, couple of yachts in bay, less that 10 people on beach. Bar was shut but we entertained ourselves.
