Discover Ithaca, the eternal symbol of the journey. This cruise is a deep dive into the Ionian blue, where ancient mythology meets raw, untamed beauty. The adventure begins at Gidaki Beach, a crown jewel accessible only by sea. Its electric turquoise waters and white pebbles create a scene so vivid the boat seems to float in mid-air. Next, we glide into Vathy, the island’s charming capital. Wander through narrow alleys lined with red-tiled neoclassical houses and see the tiny Lazaretto islet. It is the heart of Ionian hospitality, where time slows down by the peaceful waterfront. We then reach Kioni, a stunning village hidden in a lush green cove. With flower-draped stone houses and ancient windmills, it is a living postcard and the ideal spot for a traditional lunch. The journey ends at ammoudi beach. These rugged rocks and crystal depths offer a final, meditative swim, capturing the true, eternal spirit of the Ionian.

cancelled the night before but didn't ring to confirm we knew or had seen any cancellation so travelled forty minutes to see on the boat it doesn't travel on a wednesday , so I presume this was allowed to be booked to see if there was demand and cancelled when there wasn't . Few more on dock too wondering where everyone was , anyway paid twice as much for a boat on our own so we didn't waste the trip , do better
Fantastic day out, very informative and swimming in the small bays was amazing the 2 stops at the small towns for sightseeing and lunch along enough to enjoy but nothing too long to get bored
Fantastic experience! Great day out with 2 swim stops and 2 pretty village stops. Busy, but plenty seats for all. Friendly staff. Snack/drinks bar on board.
Loved this day out. Friendly staff made us feel welcome. Clean tidy boat, well organised day. Loved seeing Kefalonia, Ithaca and the mountains of mainland Greece from the sea. Lovely swim stops and time to have a bite to eat and a stroll during the other stops.
Very beautiful day, well-balanced. The boat is pleasant and clean, the crew is friendly and efficient. There are seats for every preference, in the sun, with a 360 view, in the shade, inside. The onboard bar serves good coffee, drinks with and without alcohol. There is also a water fountain. Two swimming breaks, one at the beginning, one at the end, are taken at very pretty beaches, and you get down (or dive) into the water directly from the boat. The other two stops are on dry land, the first in Vathy for a walk/shopping, the second in Kioni for lunch/walk. You can taste the local specialty there, the kid goat. All in a great atmosphere.
This is the second year in a row that I have chosen Romantika Ithaca Cruises, and once again, it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The boat itself is spacious, beautiful, and very well maintained, with a fully equipped bar and plenty of comfortable areas both inside and outside. There is so much space to relax, enjoy the sunshine, and take in the breathtaking scenery and the magic of the journey around Ithaca. One of the most unforgettable moments of the day was spotting dolphins halfway through our trip — something I definitely wasn’t expecting! 🥰 It made an already beautiful day even more special. Captain Vangelis welcomed us with such warmth and friendliness that we immediately felt at home. Together with the rest of the crew, he created a relaxed, welcoming, and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the entire cruise. Everyone was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a wonderful time while always feeling safe. .You can truly feel the effort, passion, and care that the team puts into every detail. From the organisation and hospitality to the overall atmosphere on board, everything felt much more personal and thoughtfully managed. Thank you so much, guys, for such a memorable day! Keep up the amazing work ,your passion really shows, and we are sure that we will see you again very soon! 🥰🚢💙 See you next ☀️ summer!!
What beautiful trip we had with the romantika ithaka cruise's, it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The boat itself is spacious, beautiful, and very well maintained, with a fully equipped bar . There is much space to relax, enjoy the cruise, and enjoy the trip to Ithaca. Captain Vangelis is very welcoming and very friendly crew. Thank you so much, guys, for such a wonderful day! We will definitely come again when we visit the island next year
Very good,very nice atmosphere,capten Vagelis was very good and funny and all the other crew members.I would highly recommend for anyone no matter the age.
Too many people on boat made it seem crammed, cigarette smoke wafting around, engine fumes and a PA system cranked up so loud the captains announcements were distorted. Did we really need music blasting out for the whole journey? It was so loud my watch was telling me the level was above 90dB!! We had done this trip during 2025 and to be honest it was much better with previous owner. A true honest account I’m afraid so we would say: 1/ reduce number on board 2/ add a non smoking policy, not uncommon in this day and age 3/ Monitor audio levels especially during announcements. (We were on lower deck).
Excellent trip. Very well organised and had a lovely day out.
