Ithaka Guide

The Greek island of Ithaca lies in the Ionian Sea and is one of the Ionian group of islands. The island is famous as the mythical island of Odysseus and has a laid back atmosphere surrounded by crystal clear waters. The small island is popular with all visitors but especially so with families or couples who find many things to do including swimming in the island's warm waters, trekking along the island's paths or simply enjoying a meal of locally caught fresh fish in a taverna. Some of the best beaches on the island are Filiatro, Sarakiniko and Agios Ioannis although there are other, more secluded, beaches to explore. In the evening a popular way to wind down from the day's activities is to walk along the promenade of Vathy and then to enjoy a lovely drink under the night sky.

From the island, ferries operate to Kefalonia, Astakos and Patra.
