Focki
Beach
|
|
|
A very
pretty, deep inlet about 20 minutes stroll from
Fiscardo. There is also a small taverna – not on the
beach but just across the road. To get to Focki beach
from Fiscardo harbour, walk along the front, past the
Captain’s Cabin restaurant and follow the tarmac road.
Bear left after the Roman graveyard and you can’t go
wrong. |
|
 |
Just
follow the road as it meanders along the coast and
admire the views of neighbouring Ithaca as you go. If
you look down to the left, you should notice several
places where there are flat rocks giving good bathing
access to the sea. If you are impatient for a dip you
may like to stop here! |
|
The
picturesque olive grove that borders the beach provides
a good picnic spot and welcome shade during the warmer
times of day |
 |
|
If the
beach is busy, it could be worth venturing along the
footpath that leads out opposite the road. Again, there
are numerous flat rocks that provide ideal basking and
bathing platforms. |
 |
The cave
on the right hand side of the bay is interesting. It is
possible to swim or take a boat right in and land on a
pebbly beach. From this beach there is a labyrinth of
tunnels which form part of a disused mine. |
|
Warning! It is a fairly long swim to the cave and in
an offshore wind, getting back to the beach could prove
quite tiring. It is possible to walk round the cliff
path to the cave. However, exploring the tunnels is
not recommended and could be highly dangerous. |
