Skartsoumponisi

Skartsoumponisi is a tiny, uninhabited islet located at the southeastern entrance of Ithaca, serving as a pristine sanctuary for any premium yacht charter. Often considered a "hidden gem" of the Ionian, it is renowned for its exceptional sea quality and crystal-clear turquoise waters that resemble a natural lagoon. A blue cruise to Skartsoumponisi offers sailors an escape into raw Mediterranean nature, where the rugged rocky coastline creates a secluded cove perfect for private anchorage and professional snorkeling. With no permanent structures or crowds, the islet provides a sophisticated off-the-grid experience for those seeking peace and the raw beauty of Ithaca's maritime borders.
