Seeing Ithaca in person will give you a clearer sense of the landscape behind the stories you may have read. The island’s rocky hills, colourful coves and windswept coastline have long been linked with Odysseus; the route you follow will bring that setting to life as you move between villages and bays.

Your journey crosses from Sami Port to Ithaca and visits key spots around the island, including Piso Aetos, the harbour town of Vathy, the peaceful Kathara Monastery, the seaside village of Kioni and the area around Stavros. Along the way you will pass colourful coves and rugged scenery, and have time to explore each place’s character and views. The overall route also connects Agia Efimia and Karavomilos with Sami, so you will travel through several coastal communities as you go to and from Ithaca. The itinerary is approximate, but it typically includes all the locations named above.
