Excursions | Ithaca Exploration
Why
not take the opportunity and join us as we sail across to visit our neighboring
island of Ithaca, famous for its unspoiled traditional villages, charming
picturesque fishing ports and breathtaking natural beauty.
Together, we will visit the capital of the island, Vathy, where you can join the locals for 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 sights in Stavros are the beautiful church of Sotiras, which stands in the village's central square, and the archaeological museum.
Lunch will be enjoyed in the harbour-side town of 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.
