Worldwide famous as the home of Odysseus, Ithaca symbolizes the return to heaven, the discovery and the fulfillment. Calm and wild, simple and genuine, romantic and poetic, Ithaca awaits you to find your own “Ithaca”.

First we disembark from the ferry at the port of Pisaetos and we will move to the village of Kioni. The picturesque harbor with flower decked houses is one of the island’s prettiest ports. Next we drive to the monastery of Kathara, which is built high up on the peak of mount Niritos and has a breathtaking view of Vathy, the whole southern Ithaca and Kefalonia.

Time for a swim at Filiatro beach. The warm, shallow crystalline waters and the white shiny pebbles are ideal mostly for the children. Finally we will explore the capital of Vathy, with its horseshoe-shaped harbor. Delightful red roofed houses are set among enchanting scenery and the center is a photo opportunity of twisting streets, picturesque cafes and little shops.
