Ithaka to Sami Ferry Most Popular Questions

Ithaka Guide

The Greek island of Ithaka is one of the Ionian group of islands and lies in the Ionian Sea, off the north east coast of Kefalonia and within sight of the Greek mainland. The island has two parts which are separated by a narrow strip of land that is around 600 m wide. The two parts of the island enclose the large bay of Molos. One of the world's largest natural harbours can be found in the island's capital and port town, also called Ithaki. The harbour is protected by a small islet called Lazaretto which is home to the church of the Savior and also is the site of a former jail.

The beautiful island capital, on the island's south coast, has managed to retain its traditional Ionian architecture and has many bars, restaurants, tavernas, shops and clubs for visitors to enjoy. A popular attraction on the island is the Cave of Nymphs which is to the south of Ithaki. Also called marble cave, it has two entrances - one for the Gods and one for the mortals. Within the cave there are beautiful stalactites and, according to Homer, Odysseus hid the gifts that Alkinoos, the King of Feakes, gave to him in the cave.

The port at Ithaki is connected by ferry to Kefalonia, Lefkada, Patra and Astakos and also to Patra via Kefalonia.


Sami Guide

The town of Sami is located on the Greek island of Cephalonia which lies in the Ionian Sea. Sami is very much a tourist town and is located around 4 km to the north east of Antisamos Beach which is a particularly stunning beach which has some beautiful hills as a backdrop. However, to get the full beach experience on Cephalonia tourists should travel to Myrtos Beach which is to the south of Assos. The beach has white sand, limestone cliffs and crystal clear blue water. For this interested in history there are a number of archaeological sites and landmarks dotted around the island. These include the archaeological excavations at the Roman Villa in Skala and also the Acropolis of Sami which dates back to the 5th century BC. Another popular landmark is St. George's castle in the Livatho Valley which also dates back to Roman times. Naturally produced sites on the island include the large caverns, such as Drogarai Cave and the Melissani Cave, which are both located in Sami. Melissani Cave is particularly famous and features a vast underground lake, which is deep-blue in colour and best explored by boat.
