Filiatro Beach, one of the closest beach to Vathy, Ithaki’s capital, is a perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty. A calm bay with crystal-clear turquoise waters, Filiatro offers a refreshing escape just a 15-minute drive (or a scenic 35-minute walk) from the town center.
The beach itself is a mix of white pebbles, with some areas transitioning to finer gravel and even a small sandy section. Despite its popularity, Filiatro manages to retain a relaxed atmosphere. Lush greenery surrounds the beach, with trees offering natural shade for those seeking respite from the sun.
For those who prefer a more comfortable setup, sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent. You won’t have to worry about packing a picnic either, as a beach bar serves refreshing drinks, snacks, and even organizes beach parties for some lively fun.
Craving a more substantial meal? A restaurant on-site caters to your needs with delicious Greek cuisine.
The calm waters are ideal for families with young children, while the more adventurous can try water sports offered at the beach. While parking can be a challenge during peak season, Filiatro’s easy accessibility, scenic beauty, and amenities make it a top choice for a day at the beach in Ithaki.
Beyond its appeal for sunbathers and families, Filiatro Beach boasts a unique feature that makes it popular for wedding celebrations. Adjacent to the beach area, you’ll find a dedicated space specifically designed for post-wedding festivities. This allows couples to host their wedding ceremony elsewhere, perhaps on the beach itself, and then move seamlessly into a celebratory dinner and party with friends and family. Imagine raising a toast under the stars, with the sound of waves gently lapping at the shore and the beautiful scenery of Filiatro Beach as your backdrop.
