Snorkeling boat excursions from Vathy in Ithaca

The 5-hour RIB Safari gives you the opportunity to visit the most remote places around Ithaca, accessible only by boat. There are three options to choose from with your instructor for your snorkeling trip:

1) Afales bay is one of the highlights. Make sure you won’t leave Ithaca without visiting this wonderful bay. On the way back to Vathy you will stop in locations as cape Agios Ioannis (the north tip of the island) or Marmakas bay which is one of the best snorkeling spots of the Ionian Sea! You may also stop to Kritami bay or visit Gidaki beach.

2) Another option for the 5h trip is to visit the uninhabited Atokos Island and explore its sloppy and rocky coastline. Atokos is also famous for a small population of seals. Before arriving to Ithaca you can visit some snorkeling spots around Vathy like Filiatro or Gidaki.

3) The third snorkeling option is to explore the southeast coast of Ithaca. There are many isolated unspoiled beaches and bays. While returning to Vathy you may visit Meneris sea cave or any small bay close to Vathy harbor.
