Skinos Cove

Skinos Cove, located on the east coast of Ithaca just north of Vathy, is a breathtaking natural harbor renowned for its fairytale-like scenery. For any premium yacht charter, it is defined as the place where lush greenery meets the deep blue, offering exceptional sea quality and transparent turquoise waters. A blue cruise to Skinos Cove provides sailors with a serene escape, characterized by a coastal structure where pine, cypress, and olive trees extend right down to the water's edge. The bay is remarkably sheltered from winds, and its white pebbled shore creates an ideal setting for private anchorage and swimming in total tranquility. With no modern developments in sight, Skinos remains an untouched sanctuary for those seeking a sophisticated off-the-grid experience amidst the raw beauty of the Ionian Sea.
