Afales Beach, nestled in the north of Ithaki, offers a taste of rugged beauty and seclusion. Afales boasts a dramatic landscape with a series of pebbled beaches backed by steep, bare cliffs. Lush vegetation clings to the opposite side, creating a stunning contrast. The turquoise waters are known for their exceptional clarity, perfect for snorkeling or simply admiring the vibrant underwater world.
This beach caters to those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience. There are no sunbeds or umbrellas for rent, so pack an umbrella for shade if needed. Be prepared to bring your own refreshments as well, as there are no facilities on the main beach.
However, the true charm of Afales lies in its hidden coves. Accessible by following small paths from the main beach, Kouloumi and Perivoli offer even greater seclusion.
Reaching Afales requires a scenic drive along a paved road from Platrithias village. While the main beach offers parking, be aware that strong winds can sometimes pick up in the afternoon, so check the conditions before you go. Afales might not be for everyone, but for those seeking a paradise with breathtaking scenery, it’s an unforgettable Ionian gem.
