Dexia Bay
Dexia Bay is a serene and legendary stop for any premium yacht charter in Ithaca. Believed to be the place where Odysseus first landed upon his return, this charming bay offers crystal-clear shallow waters and a coastline fringed with silver-green olive trees. A blue cruise to Dexia Bay provides a protected anchorage with excellent sea quality, making it a favorite for swimming and snorkeling. Its proximity to Vathy allows sailors to enjoy a peaceful maritime atmosphere while being close to the island's main attractions. The natural coastal structure remains untouched, offering a perfect blend of mythology and tranquility.
