For additional fun and even more experiences, organize day trips to other islands in the Ionian Sea.
We suggest the following excursions starting from Fiskardo:
Ithaca & Atokos
Visit Ithaca and explore the natural beauty of this historic island in the most exciting way. Swim at the beaches of Afales, Marmakas, and Kourvoulia and discover the azure depths of Gidaki and Filiatra bays with your mask. A good choice for your lunch break is Sarakiniko. Combine the exploration of Ithaca with a visit to Atokos, a hidden gem of the Ionian located just 10 nautical miles from Vathi. An uninhabited small island with untouched flora for thousands of years and unparalleled natural beauty.
Lefkada & Meganisi
Combine both destinations in one day or, even better, stay overnight on one of the two islands to visit as many places as possible without rush. In Lefkada, you must not miss the impressive landscapes of Egremni and Porto Katsiki. Accessing these two beaches on foot is quite challenging, so visiting them by sea is the best way to see, admire, and swim in these enchanting waters. Also, visit the beaches of Ammoussa and Mikros Gialos and continue your journey to Meganisi. There, explore the seabed at the beach of Ammoglossa with its stunning turquoise waters, and visit the Papanikolis Cave.
Paxos & Antipaxos
In about two hours, you will have arrived at these two emerald islands of the Ionian Sea, a Paradise on Earth. Explore around Paxos, explore the caves (e.g., Ipapanti, Achaia, Ortholithos), and swim in the incredible turquoise waters that you have to see to believe. In Antipaxos, visit the sandy beaches of Vrika and Voutoumi – two of the most beautiful in the world – and don’t miss Rodovani, located on the western side of the island.
Rodovani is not so well-known, but it is a place you must visit at least once in your life – one of the favorite hideaways for swimming, picnicking on the boat, fishing, and endless hours of relaxation. Enjoy a refreshing drink, coffee, or soft drink at one of the seaside cafes in Gaios or Mongonissi and savor a high-quality lunch at one of the restaurants in Loggos. On your return, if nature is generous enough, it will gift you with a sunset with pink, orange, and red shades. It is recommended to combine your visit to Paxos and Antipaxos with at least one overnight stay for more comfort.
