A beach anchorage tucked behind a chapel-topped islet at the northern tip of Ithaca, with tamarisk trees ashore and good snorkelling.
Practical
Excellent shelter behind the islet and chapel; anchor in sand or weed close to the beach. Open to NE through S. Hazard: Agriogatos reef, about 50 m wide, lies roughly 250 m off the northern approach — approach with care. A kantina opens only in high summer.
Best for
Snorkelling and a swim stop at Ithaca's north tip
