With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Megas Lakkos Beach, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Xi Beach, Ammes Beach and Makris Yalos Beach. Located 40 miles away, Vathy is another popular destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Navy - Folklore Museum of Ithaca, Archaeological Museum of Ithaca and Archaeological Museum of Vathi.
