Resplan
Varför inte ta chansen och gå med oss när vi seglar över samer för att besöka vår grannö Ithaca; känd för sina oförstörda traditionella byar, charmiga pittoreska fiskehamnar och hisnande naturskönhet.
Tillsammans besöker vi huvudstaden på ön Vathy, där du kan gå med lokalbefolkningen för att ta kaffe på huvudtorget, utforska de pittoreska smala gatorna eller besöka det lokala museet. Som hem för den grekiska kungen, Odysseus, är Ithaca steg i den grekiska mytologin redo för dig att upptäcka!
På den högsta punkten på ön ligger Kathara-klostret, som ger den perfekta miljön för dig att ta otroliga fotografier av hela ön innan vi går ner till den idylliska staden Stavros;
Det är en typisk by där du verkligen kan uppskatta den fantastiska öns lokala charm, där det verkar som om tiden stod still. Några av sevärdheterna i Stavros är den vackra Sotiras kyrka som ligger på byns centrala torg och det arkeologiska museet.
Lunch kommer att avnjutas i hamnstaden Κioni. Här möts du med ett underbart urval av traditionella tavernor där du kan äta lunch bredvid havet.
På väg tillbaka kommer vi att passera från Frikes Port.

Vanna our guide was amazing. She was so funny, kind and knowledgeable. The best tour we’ve ever been on. So many beautiful sites. Perfect timing and plenty of time to explore each area by ourselves. 100/10 experience!
It was a lovely day out over to Ithaca, so much history. Vathy and Kuoni were so lovely. Bring swimmers as you can have a dip
We had a wonderful day long trip to Ithaca with our tour guide Vanna. What a fabulous tour guide…she is so knowledgeable, caring and made the day fun too. Our driver was amazing and we felt so safe. We’d highly recommend this company…we went on a trip with them last year to Myrtos beach, fiskardo and Assos.
We really enjoyed this coach (and ferry) trip to and around Ithaca. We were one of the earliest pick ups, from Lassi, at 6.45am and were dropped back around 12 hours later. First stop, after an enjoyable ferry trip with good coffee, was Vathy at around 9am (breakfast/musem/shops/seafront and statues) then Kathara Monastery, beautiful Kioni for lunch and Stavros for dessert, back to the ferry for about 5pm! The coach driver Vangelis made us feel very safe despite some very narrow and steep roads and it was good fun sitting back and enjoying the beautiful views on both Kefalonia and Ithaca. Vanna kept us entertained with lots of history and information about the island and you could stay with her for more information during the stop offs or go off on your own as preferred. We didn't want to stop at beaches and swim (which you can do on other tours) but to see more of the island with a view to returning another time to spend longer exploring and it was a great and relaxing first introduction.
Beautiful island, and a real privilege to see so much of it in one day. Quite relaxing. I did feel we were short on time with stops, and maybe could have cut out Stavros, or shortened the visit there, as it just felt like we stopped to visit the ice cream store, when we could have spent more time at the time stop in Vathy, which had more to do.
Experience driver and nice lady who assisted us trough the tour. We have enough time to visit some places and to eat. Highly recommended
Trip to Ithaka with Vanna! Very nice & interesting tour with nice stops. Vanna's knowledge & personality made the day!!
A really great tour with the informative and friendly Vanna. We started off with a ferry ride over to Ithaca and then onwards to our first stop in Vathi. Vanna was very helpful in pointing out things of potential interest and showing us where to find certain places. A definite highlight for us was the trip up to the Monastery but it's not for the faint hearted! Those are some twisted roads, 180 degrees turns and death defying drops, all in a coach but we were in safe hands and the view from the highest point of the island was well worth it! As was the lunchtime stop in Kioni which is basically a picture perfect postcard in real life. There is a lot of time spent on the coach travelling between places but it's a good chance to hear about the history of the island, including the impact of the 1953 earthquake and the story of Odysseus. All in all a good trip with a good company. Thanks for a lovely trip!
We were looking to book a ferry to Ithaca in Agorstoli, when we came across this office and the lady was very informative, this is where we also met Vanna, who was so kind, thoughtful and helpful regarding the coach tour of Ithaca. We booked the trip. Vanna made it easy for me to take my mobility frame to enable me to get the best out of the trip. She also said she would reserve the front seats for the four of us and make sure there was plenty of water and chance for me to take my meds on time. On the day of the trip woth Vanna and Vangelis the journey was wonderful, the information was interesting about the Island. Vangelis driving was exceptional particularly.around the steep, winding roads. We visited Vathy, Kathron monastery, Kioni and Stavros,.there was plenty of time and opportunity to take photos and enjoy the places we stopped. Kioni was a lovely harbour where we visited a taverna for lunch. We learnt so much of the history of the Island and Greek Mythology throughout this trip. We were so grateful for the extra care and attention from Vamna and Vangelis
Highly recommend this trip to the stunningly beautiful island of Ithaca. Lifetime dream of visiting the home of legendary Odysseus and didn't disappoint. Had a lovely lunch break in picture perfect Kioni. The guide Vanna was very helpful and informative and the driver Vangelis did a great job negotiating the windy mountainside roads.
