De todas las playas de Itaca, de todas las playas del mundo, mi favorita es la bahía de Filiatró, sobre la costa este, a poco más de tres kilómetros de Vathí a la cual se accede por una ruta no muy difícil, salvo en la parte de la llegada a la playa que requiere un poquito de pericia en las últimas dos curvas que no son tampoco gran desafío. La playa tiene un sector para estacionar motos. Filiatró es una playa de cantos rodados blancos con olivos para garantizarnos la sombra. Hay tumbonas y quitasoles que se arriendan a precios normales y atención a la playa de los chicos del bar, Dimitri entre ellos. Con un excelente ambiente y agradable música el público mayoritariamente local es tranquilo y amistoso. En la barra se forman grupos animados en torno a unas cervezas o un café y muchas parejas bailan a los ritmos de la salsa, el merengue o la rumba. Más allá del bar y para paladares bien afinados está el restaurante Kirki, toda una sorpresa para una comida de playa pues tiene una carta muy gourmet con un buen montaje de sus platos logrando un toque fusión incluso con las comidas típicamente griegas. La verdad es que Filiatró es única por su belleza, su tranquilidad, su ambiente, la simpatía y afabilidad del público, lo fácil que es conversar con cualquiera que te encuentres por ahí. Uno se toma fotos con personas que jamás habías conocido y todos sintonizan en un ambiente como de club de socios, como si todos fueran conocidos. Te pasas el día entre la playa, el restorán y la barra mientras la luz del sol va tiñendo el panorama de variados colores hasta que llega la tarde y te bañas en sus aguas tibias a la caída del sol y el cielo se va tiñendo de añil y entonces te despides quizás hasta el otro día, quizás hasta el otro año. [Este es un extracto de mi crónica motera sobre Itaca en el diario digital El Trancura de Chile.

Unique natural beauty landscape. Where the olive grove ends, the beach begins. You can enjoy your swim in the clear turquoise waters while you can lie in the shade of the olive trees. There is a beach bar that provides everything even a skewer if you like it. Finally I suggest either canoeing or flippers if you are a bouncy swimmer to visit 2 small beaches on the right that are only accessible by water and are beautiful. There is a big one on the left a little further away but I find the approach dangerous because many boats are constantly coming I had to pass under several ropes that had been tied to the rocks by my canoe.

The walk to this beach from the main town is up and down, with a bit of elevation, so it is best to do it early, before the heat of the day. As you approach the beach, the views are spectacular and depending on the time of day or season you can find yourself alone in this bay which is absolutely gorgeous. It has a basic beach bar and is well organised, with the most comfortable bean bags you can imagine, which are more like a reclined sofa chair. You can spend a very relaxing time here and swim in crystal clear water, or explore the area by foot. There are also some spectacular rock formations for those interested.

This is such a beautiful sheltered beach with turquoise crystal clear water. We visited around 9.30am on a weekday in May and were the only ones there on the beach for ages. One of the two beach bars was open and playing soft nice music and it was just so peaceful. The beach is a white pebbled beach and there are sunbeds and umbrellas along the beach for hire. You can drive down and park nearby.

Gorgeous beach with clear blue waters. Decent amount of free parking right next to the beach. There are showers, and the cafe/restaurant has toilets. Very little natural shade, so bring your own umbrella or pay for sunbeds (5 euros each). The far end of the beach has olive trees amongst the sunbeds, so offers a bit more shade. Great snorkelling amongst the varied rock formations.

A lovely sheltered bay with shallow pebbly beach. A friendly beach bar playing cheerful music and an outstanding restaurant serving great, interesting dishes. The salad with lemon sorbet, roasted candida, walnuts and seasonal local fruit when all tossed together was a treat. Definitely a top Ithaca beach.
