This is a quiet and quaint picteresque town which is very popular with the yachting flotillas that appear religously throughout the summer months.
Measuring roughly ½ ml by ¼ ml, Aghia Efimia is a sleepy traditional Greek fishing village which has developed into a resort without losing its charm. It has a small, attractive harbour lined with cafes, bars and restaurants, and an appealing winding promenade. Captivating views of the island of Ithaki and watching the sun go down is one of the reasons most of the action is stituated along the quay side, so if want some where to relax and unwind while you watch the world go by this is the place. As well as a mini market and gift shops there are also a few good late night music bars to while away the evening in however that's about it most of the people just take it slow and enjoy the evening with a stroll after a good meal at one of the local restaurants. The harbour acts as a focal point for the growing number of visitors, particularly in high season when day-tripping coach parties and an influx of "yachties" bring the village to life. Locality: Aghia Efimia is spread around a small bay, at the NW corner of wider Sami Bay, surrounded by greenery. It is backed by an arid, stony mountain and facing a pine-covered mountain, with superb views across the bay to Sami and the island of Ithaca. It is positioned near the centre of the E coast, 6 mls N of Sami, 21 mls NE of Argostoli and the airport. |
