Alikes Beach, on Ithaki’s northern coast, blends history and natural beauty. Smooth, white pebbles line the shore, lapped by crystal-clear waters.
Legend whispers that Odysseus used this area, once royal salt marshes, to feign madness and avoid the Trojan War.
While the salt marshes are long gone, remnants of dry salt might still surprise you on the shores of a nearby mud lake.
Just ten meters back from the beach, this unique feature adds a touch of intrigue. Years ago, the mud was even ideal for mud baths!
Despite its historical connection, Alikes Beach offers a relaxed atmosphere. Sunbathe on the warm pebbles, enjoy a refreshing swim, or explore the surrounding landscape – a perfect choice for a tranquil escape steeped in Ithaki’s lore.
