Gidaki beach, only accessed by boat, is considered to be one of the best beaches on the island and definitely the most crowded one. The boats depart from Vathi and the trip lasts about 20 minutes and costs about 10 euros. It is located at the eastern side of Ithaca, north from Filiatro bay, and its shore is pebbled with deep and blue waters. The place offers a beautiful view towards the mainland to the east and the small uninhabited islets. One can also get there by the narrow path from Schinos which is about 10 minutes on foot. There is also a canteen on the spot.
