Full description
Together we will visit the capital of the island Vathy, where you can join the locals to take coffee at the main square, explore the quaint narrow streets or visit the local museum. As the home of the Greek King, Odysseus, Ithaca is stepped in Greek mythology ready for you to discover! At the highest point of the island sits Kathara Monastery, which provides the perfect setting for you to take incredible photographs of the whole island before we head down to the idyllic town of Stavros; a typical village where you can truly appreciate the local charm of this amazing island, where it appears that time stood still. Some of the sights in Stavros are the beautiful church of Sotiras which stands in the central square of the village and the archaeological museum. Lunch will be enjoyed in the harbour side town Κioni. Here you will be met with a wonderful choice of traditional taverns where you can have lunch next to the sea. Seeing the place gives you a better understanding of what you have read about it, it is clear why Ithaca, a rough and rugged land surrounded by magic and colourful coves, gave birth to the brilliant, resourceful, ingenious Odysseus.

The day trip to Ithaca was amazing. Vanna is an awesome tour guide, giving you information and facts about everything the entire trip. Costa is a fantastic driver, navigating through the high and narrow mountain roads. The time is spent well and it is well organised, no rushing or waiting around, plenty of time for picture taking, having lunch and a gorgeous swim. I would highly recommend this trip with this agency as we were pleasantly surprised because we took a few trips with different with different agencies and this one was the best.

We enjoyed our trip. The guide looked after us well & the coach driver was excellent. The last stop in Stavros of over an hour we felt was a little too long as there isn't much of interest to occupy visitors for that length of time. Maybe a little longer time in Vathy would be good. Overall would definitely recommend this trip.
