Itinéraire
Votre premier arrêt est la capitale et le port principal d'Ithaque, Vathi. Le village est construit en amphithéâtre autour d'une baie profonde et abritée avec une entrée étroite. Le petit îlot de Lazaret est situé au milieu du port de Vathi. Le paysage est pittoresque, les toits rouges des maisons se détachent au milieu de la nature luxuriante qui descend jusqu'à la mer.
Frikes est une belle colonie traditionnelle avec un port pittoresque. C'est une retraite pour les bateaux de plaisance et les bateaux de pêche. Les maisons bien entretenues avec des carreaux de céramique offrent à ce village un aspect attrayant. Sur les quais se trouvent de nombreuses tavernes, avec des terrasses au bord de l'eau. Il y a aussi de bons cafés grecs. La zone environnante est magnifiquement verte, les collines derrière et autour du village sont pleines d'arbres.
Votre dernier arrêt sera pour nager sur la plage de Gidaki qui possède l'un des décors naturels les plus brillants. Galets blancs, oliviers et arbustes descendant jusqu'à la mer. Les eaux claires deviennent vertes et leur teinte émeraude reflète la nature qui les entoure.

The tour allows you to discover the wonderful Ithaca, its incredible colors and its untouched nature. We made two stops for swimming in beaches with crystal clear waters. The staff is courteous and helpful. The limited number of participants allows you to fully enjoy the experience. The best day of the holiday!

Thank you for sharing your experience regarding the Ithaca Cruise from Poros. We're sorry to hear that your trip was canceled due to the storm, but we're glad that the refund process was handled promptly. We hope the weather was perfect for your rescheduled trip on Wednesday, and that you had an amazing time on the Ithaca Cruise! Best regards,
I booked this excursion with Viator and their description clearly stated that the trip was to go to Gidaki Beach and two other stops. However it did not go there but had a swim stop which was possibly off this beach. In the Viator description it said we would have up to 3 hours on the beach - not a 30 min swim stop. Unfortunately we can not do swimming off a boat so had to spend 5 hours on the boat with just 3 hours on land. After investigation I found that the misinformation was from Viator not the boat operator. So I followed back to them. However Viator refused to take any responsibility. So I shall not be using them again and I suggest people only use them for information. If you check directly with the supplier you should get correct information and probably find it cheaper too.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Ithaca Cruise from Poros. We appreciate your insights and would like to clarify that this review pertains to Viator, not our business. Best regards,
I booked this trip as it visited three places on Ithaca, one of which was supposed to be a beach. However it did not stop at a beach but had swimming off the boat instead. We cannot do swimming off the boat as my wife can not climb the ladder back on to a boat from the sea and I cannot swim well enough following an accident long ago. Hence for us it was 5 hours on the boat and just 3 hours on land. in addition there was no music or bar on the boat and little communication. Consequently this trip was not what we were lead to believe.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Ithaca Cruise from Poros. We appreciate your comments and would like to clarify that Viator clearly describes the inclusions and exclusions for this tour. In the tour description, it was never mentioned that the boat would stop on the shore of the beach, nor that the boat has a bar or music available. Additionally, it is stated that the tour is not recommended for guests with impairment or mobility issues. We apologize for any misunderstanding and hope this information helps future travelers make informed decisions.

This boat trip to Ithaca was a real highlight of our holiday to Kefalonia. The trip had two swim stops in the clearest sea I have ever swam in, plus two port stops in towns for food, a wander and a drink. The team were all local, knowledgable and could give good recommendations on places to eat and things to do in your time on Ithaca. During our visit (Sept 2023) the sea between Kefalonia and Ithaca was like glass. This made even the journey to and from the island an absolute joy. Make sure you don't miss out on Poros, the town where the tour departs from. Its a lovely little town with some great bars right on the seafront and lovely hidden beaches.

We hian amazing trip to Ithaca Island stopping for 2 swims or to just enjoy the view and then Koni and Vathy for a wonder, coffee or lunch. It is a family business and they were so friendly, helping and welcoming. It was lovely to have a smaller boat trip where it almost felt like a private charter. We would definitely recommend them and go again. They asked if everyone felt ok and can recommend places to go and eat on the Island.
