Piso Aetos Beach, on the western coast of Ithaki, offers a unique blend of convenience and natural beauty. Situated right next to the port of the same name, it’s a great option for those arriving or departing the island by ferry. Despite its proximity to the ferry dock, Piso Aetos retains a tranquil charm.
The beach itself is a delightful mix of white pebbles and crystal-clear waters. You can feel the gentle crunch of pebbles beneath your feet as you walk along the shoreline, followed by a refreshing dip in the inviting turquoise water. Lush olive trees line the shore, offering pockets of shade, especially in the morning hours. Later in the afternoon, the rocks at the water’s edge provide a natural haven from the strong Greek sun.
While there aren’t any sunbeds or umbrellas for rent at Piso Aetos, the short distance from the port allows you to bring your own beach essentials.
Beyond its accessibility, Piso Aetos holds a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts. Take a closer look in the shallow waters, and you might spot tiny crabs, barnacles, and even small fish darting around the rocks – a delightful display of marine life visible with the naked eye.
So, whether you’re seeking a quick refreshing dip before your ferry journey or a relaxing afternoon exploring the underwater world, Piso Aetos Beach offers a charming and convenient escape on the beautiful island of Ithaki.
