Just like we did. We enjoyed swimming in calm and shallow waters with unique views. From there you will admire the small and unknown island of Skartsoubonisi which belongs to Ithaca. It is considered one of the most beautiful beaches of Ithaca and not unfairly. and we believe it too.<\/p>\n

It was named Dexia or Dexa (<\/strong>in Greek it means the direction of “Right”<\/em>) because its location is just on the right side of the port in Vathi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from its beauty, the beach according to the legend is the place that Odysseus landed when he returned to Ithaca. The legend states that it was the place where Odysseus felt the first feelings of repatriation to his beloved island. His Ithaca.<\/p>\n
