This picturesque, rather untouristy Ionian island near the mainland (reached by car and ferry) has quaint villages and nice beaches. Our favorite sites are the traditional fishing village of Agios Nikitas and the sweeping sand beach of Kathisma. Skorpios, the Onassis family's private island, can be seen from the resort of Nidri. 175 mi/280 km west-northwest of Athens.
