Dit kun je verwachten

Ithaka ligt bij de noordoostkust van Kefalonia en is sinds de oudheid beroemd als de woonplaats van Odysseus. Het is een klein eindje varen, maar er lijkt een zee van tijd tussen te liggen. De tijd staat stil op dit ruige en bergachtige terrein. Alsof je in het oude Griekenland bent beland. Dmitri, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "De legende van Odysseus op het eiland Ithaka is een klassiek verhaal over avontuur, heldenmoed en doorzettingsvermogen bij tegenslag. Het is door de eeuwen heen doorgegeven en blijft tot op de dag van vandaag een populair hoofdstuk uit de oude Griekse mythologie.”

Terwijl je Ithaka verkent, hoor je fascinerende verhalen uit de mythologie. Je bezoekt de hoofdstad Vathi met zijn hoefijzervormige haven en op de achtergrond de Nirito, de hoogste berg van het eiland. Dan vaar je naar Kioni in het noorden, langs kliffen en geheime stranden – halverwege krijg je de kans om een verfrissende duik te nemen. Ithaka is nog niet ontdekt door het massatoerisme, dus als je het eiland van Odysseus bezoekt zie je Griekenland op zijn puurst.

Je gaat van boord in Kioni, een vissersdorp met een sfeervolle kleine haven. Dit dorp heeft de vorm van een amfitheater en ligt verspreid over de hellingen van de heuvel erachter. De met bloemen versierde huizen kijken uit over de pittoreske haven. Vervolgens ga je naar de nog kleinere haven van Frikes - niet veel meer dan een handvol taverna's aan de waterkant - waar je tijd hebt om te lunchen. Ten slotte stop je nog even bij Stavros dat in het binnenland ligt. Om daarna voldaan koers terug te zetten, richting Kefalonia.

You'll pass through the National Park of Mt Ainos and by an eerie ghost town abandoned after a devastating earthquake in 1953. Plus, you'll visit Mt Roudhi, too.Your driver will take you along some of the island's best coastal routes, too, so fantastic views are par for the course.

Ithaca island tour with traditional villages and boat trip

Ithaca island tour with traditional villages and boat trip

Famed since ancient times as the home of Odysseus, the island of Ithaca lies off the northeast coast of Kefalonia. It may be just a short boat trip away but to visit is like stepping back in time. Its rugged and mountainous terrain seems straight out of an ancient classic. Dmitri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The legend of Odysseus on the island of Ithaca is a classic tale of adventure, heroism and perseverance in the face of adversity. It's been told and retold throughout the centuries and remains a beloved part of ancient Greek mythology to this day.'You'll hear many mythical tales as you discover Ithaca. Explore the capital, Vathi, with its fabulous setting and horseshoe harbour under the island's highest mountain – Nirito. Next, go by boat to Kioni in the north, passing cliffs and secret beaches – there's a swim stop to cool off, too. Ithaca has largely been overlooked by mass tourism, so you'll see Greece at its purest when you visit Odysseus' Island.Jumping off the boat in Kioni, you'll find yourself in a very appealing little harbour. The main village is built like an amphitheatre on the slopes of the hillside above, flower-bedecked houses overlooking the port below. You'll then head to the even tinier port of Frikes – not much more than a cluster of tavernas at the waterside – where you'll have free time for lunch. And there's a stop in the inland hill village of Stavros with its leafy main square, before sailing back to Kefalonia.

Georgina guides you through it all, telling you the story of Kefalonian food and family life.There's time to slow down, take photos and stay a little longer among the gardens. Before you leave, you can browse handcrafted local products to take a piece of the day home with you.

Kefalonia flavours tour with monastery visit and turtle spotting

Discover Kefalonia's beauty, flavours, and culture on this half-day guided adventure. You'll learn about the island's spiritual side during a stop at a monastery, before visiting a port where wild loggerhead turtles are known to unwind. You'll also head to a shop near here to sample some local goods. One of our local guides, Thaleia, says, "loggerhead turtles migrate to parts all around Kefalonia's coastlines in spring to lay their eggs. At Argostoli Port, you've got a good chance of seeing them swimming between the docked boats."You'll start the tour with a stop at Argostoli Port, where you might see the turtles out and about if they're in the area. Then, you'll visit a local shop to taste olive oil, sweet mandola, honey, and Robola wine. From here, it's on to Agios Gerasimos Monastery.This place is regarded as one of the most sacred sites on the island, which isn't surprising since it's been around since 1560. You'll visit the monastery and your guide will tell you all about its history and the small community of monks that live there.

Kefalonia Sunset Cruise Ticket without Transfer

This sunset cruise has all the little things that make for a perfect holiday experience. Sailing off the south coast of Kefalonia, there's a deserted island, late evening swimming in the Ionian, beach time and snacks on the way back to port. All enjoyed to the sight of an ever-changing sky. Bliss.Sail from Argostoli harbour into the Ionian, dropping anchor near the uninhabited islet of Vardiani. Shielded from the waves by steep white cliffs, it's quite the sight. Dive off the boat for a swim or snorkel and catch a glimpse of the sea life.And it gets better. We'll sail to a beautiful bay, where you will have free time to relax on the beach or swim. Back on board, you'll enjoy a selection of finger food – washed down with a glass of local wine – all to the sounds of chilled music. And the romantic atmosphere continues as your skipper steers you leisurely back to the port.
