Out of thousands of islands in Greece, of which 227 are inhabited, dozens are private, but only on a few, it is allowed to sail around and moor, like on paradise of Atokos, only 4 miles from Ithaca. Calm, protected bays, literally crystal clear waters and amazing colors, one church, one house and… goats.

Atokos is a great introduction for beautiful nature scenery that comes with islands of Kalamos and Kastos and a channel between them. Green, white, blue, caves, bays alternate all the way. It’s time to meet Greece as it was a long time before mass tourism, islands without cars, perfectly clean, quiet, tasty food, sea and sun, thick pine trees, unusual wild landscapes. A tough decision where to anchor for a swim stop. No wonder it was a favorite getaway for Onazis and Jacky O!
