Aspros Gialos or Agios Ioannis (St John) Beach, is situated below “Agios Ioannis” village just beneath Lefki Village. It offers a delightful escape with a laid-back atmosphere. Unlike some of the island’s hidden coves, Agios Ioannis boasts a wider stretch of white pebbles.
The crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea provide a refreshing invitation for swimming and snorkeling. Lush vegetation borders the beach, offering pockets of shade, especially in the morning hours.
While Agios Ioannis isn’t secluded, it attracts a relaxed and friendly crowd. Additionally, sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free experience.
Beyond sunbathing and swimming, Agios Ioannis offers opportunities for exploration. The surrounding area is dotted with hiking trails, leading to hidden coves and offering stunning vistas of the coastline. For those seeking historical intrigue, the nearby village of Agios Ioannis boasts the ancient Ulysses Olive Tree, a natural marvel with a truly impressive trunk.
Whether you’re seeking a relaxing day of sunbathing and swimming, a chance to explore the surrounding landscape, or a taste of Ithaki’s culinary delights, Agios Ioannis Beach offers a delightful and convenient escape on the beautiful island of Ithaki.
