Ithaca: Kioni Ithaca

Ithaca Villages: Kioni village in Ithaca Kioni Village Ithaca: The picturesque traditional settlement of Kioni stands in the southeast of Ithaca, 25 kilometres from Vathy, in a verdant setting of an incredible natural beauty. It was built amphitheatrically on the slopes of a mountain, with little tiled roofed white houses and a lovely little port where little fishing boats are quietly mooring. The village was founded by the people who used to live in mountain village of Anogi, at the end of the 16th century.

Very few houses survived the earthquakes of 1953 but the few ones remaining are very interesting, with renaissance architectural characteristics. Today, this little paradise has become a busy and modern tourist resort, with many cafes and taverns lining the lovely port, many yachts stopping daily there, a lot of rooms for rent, boar rentals and some food stores.
