Voutoumi

Located in the northeast of Antipaxos Island, Voutoumi is one of the most mesmerizing stops in the Ionian Sea with its world-famous turquoise waters and pearly white beach. For yacht charter guests, the reflection of the white sands on the seabed creates neon blue waters, giving the sensation that the boat is floating in mid-air. On blue cruise itineraries, it is an essential swimming stop due to its shallow and warm sea. At the local taverna on the hill just behind the beach, you can enjoy panoramic views while crowning your day with fresh seafood and the famous wines of Antipaxos.

Logistics & Technical

Voutoumi is one of the clearest anchorages on the planet. The seabed is a mix of white sand and limestone; holding is superb in the sandy patches. While sheltered from northerlies, it remains open to the east. Pro captains recommend arriving early to claim the center of the "crystal pool."
