Welcome to the European Hawaii,

immense solitary  beaches, a mild climate constantly above 20°C and water temperature above 18°C . Stable swells and strong waves make this island one of the best surf destinations.

Not forgetting that there is lots of wind for kitesurf and windsurf fanatics. It is here where professional kite surfers meet every year  for major contests.

Ithaca

When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,

pray that the road is long,

full of adventure, full of knowledge.

The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,

the angry Poseidon — do not fear them:

You will never find such as these on your path,

if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine

emotion touches your spirit and your body.

The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,

the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,

if you do not carry them within your soul,

if your soul does not set them up before you.

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.

Without her you would have never set out on the road.

She has nothing more to give you.

Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)
