Levitha

Island Small Greek islet in the Aegean, uninhabited

Small Aegean islet in the South Aegean visited chiefly by yachts and day boats for sheltered anchorages, clear water, snorkeling and a few archaeological remains along its shore.

Levitha is a small island in the South Aegean region of Greece. It is a minor, low-profile islet of the central Aegean with limited infrastructure.

The island is mainly of interest for boat visitors seeking quiet coves, clear water for swimming and snorkeling, and an unpopulated maritime setting. There are no substantial tourist facilities on the island.

Levitha has been used intermittently over time for grazing and temporary anchorage but does not host major settlements or developed attractions.

Geographically it sits in the Aegean Sea within Greece’s South Aegean administrative region and is reachable only by private boat or occasional small-boat services.

Access: Uninhabited or sparsely inhabited and typically visited by private yachts or day boats for swimming and snorkeling.

How to Get to Levitha #

Levitha (Levitha/Λεβίθα) is a small Aegean islet in the South Aegean and has no regular large-ferry service. It is normally reached by private boat or as part of skippered excursions from nearby islands (for example from ports on Amorgos or Astypalea). Visitors should plan a private-boat landing; there are no scheduled public transport connections.

Tips for Visiting Levitha #

Reach Levitha by private boat or occasional excursion departures from nearby larger islands (such as Leros); there are no regular large‑ferry services, so plan and book boat transport in advance.
Anchor or land at the main sheltered bay rather than attempting exposed coves-small islets like Levitha have limited safe landings and calmer early‑morning conditions are easiest for small craft.
Bring snorkeling gear and plan short shore excursions: many visitors pass the islet on route to larger islands and miss its clear water and quiet coves, so allow time for a swim or a short walk to explore any visible ruins or chapels.
