Take care not to exceed the limits set down by the Port Authority for motor-boat hire. Port Authority permits hired boats to travel within a range of three nautical miles from Fiscardo. You will be supplied with a regional map with the limits clearly marked. If you travel out of this zone it will interfere with the insurance coverage and you may well be liable for a fine if one of the coast guards sees you.
Ithaca Polis Bay
Across the Ithaca channel, Polis bay can be reached by motor-boat in about half an hour. For a few months in high season there is a cantina in the port of Polis. You may wish to moor your boat and walk up to the village of Stavros where there is a choice of tavernas for lunch. It's also a good place to try the local honey-cake 'ravani'.
Foki Bay
South from Fiscardo one of the closest bays is Foki bay with a taverna by the beach.
Daskalion islet
The island of Deskalion, also known as Douhalion and Asteri island is near the village of Evreti, south of Fiscardo. The island is between Evreti on Kefalonia and Polis bay on Ithaca. Here you will find some eerie snorkelling as there is a small shipwreck nearby.
Embisi Bay
North from Fiscardo the lovely horse-shoe bay of Emblisi is flanked either side by slabs of flat rocks. This bay provices safe swimming and dropping anchor in the bay is not allowed. A lovely place to swim and see magnificent views of Ithaca.
Kimilia and Dafnoudi
The bays of Kimilia and Dafnoudi are not accessible by car so can only be reached on foot or by motor-boat. These are both small idyllic bays with lovely views to Lefkas.
