Ithaki

[by delfini]

Went to Ithaki on a day trip this year. Took a ferry from Kefalonia (Sami port) to the island. There's nothing at this port, so make sure you have rented something before you get to the island! (that is, bring a vehicle with you.) The main port is called Vathi and you need to drive about 10 minutes to get there.
Ithaki is a very nice island with some nice beaches. They're a little hard to get to, but if you have transportation, you should be fine. Can't remember the name of this really nice beach, located to the right of Vathi, but the water was very clean. A very peaceful, picturesque, mountainous island...

Hello Delfini,

Ithaca is a must! but for those your are searching for the calm. And I am one of those people and I loved it so much. I went also for a one day excursion and hope to get there again soon. Realy authentic!

Hi alexis,

Looking at the pictures, I think Ag. Ioannis beach resembles my pictures of that beautiful beach (which I can't remember the name of) just behind Vathi. Is that the one?
Lovely pictures - when did you go?

Hello Delfini!

First congratulation for your rank!
Well I think it was 3 years ago. Difficult for me to say as my job was to travel arround the islands 6 months per year. I am starting getting confused with dates !
I really couldn't say anything about the beaches' names. It was too short. I just got there for 1 day. I was coming from Kefalonia and was going to Lefkada.

recommend getting ferry from fiscardho to frikes- frikes is a brilliant place- really greek and you can always walk up to the town or over to ullysses' bay.

If somebody want to visit Ithaca for 1 day he needs to take ferry from Sami to Pisaetos. There are several feries daily. You need own transport in Ithaca.
It is not posiable to visit Ithaka from Fiskardo. There are only 2 ferries daily in higth seasoon and only 1 ferry in low seasoon.
