We hian amazing trip to Ithaca Island stopping for 2 swims or to just enjoy the view and then Koni and Vathy for a wonder, coffee or lunch. It is a family business and they were so friendly, helping and welcoming. It was lovely to have a smaller boat trip where it almost felt like a private chart...
We hian amazing trip to Ithaca Island stopping for 2 swims or to just enjoy the view and then Koni and Vathy for a wonder, coffee or lunch. It is a family business and they were so friendly, helping and welcoming. It was lovely to have a smaller boat trip where it almost felt like a private charter. We would definitely recommend them and go again. They asked if everyone felt ok and can recommend places to go and eat on the Island.995callumr

This boat trip to Ithaca was a real highlight of our holiday to Kefalonia. The trip had two swim stops in the clearest sea I have ever swam in, plus two port stops in towns for food, a wander and a drink. The team were all local, knowledgable and could give good recommendations on places to eat...
This boat trip to Ithaca was a real highlight of our holiday to Kefalonia. The trip had two swim stops in the clearest sea I have ever swam in, plus two port stops in towns for food, a wander and a drink. The team were all local, knowledgable and could give good recommendations on places to eat and things to do in your time on Ithaca. During our visit (Sept 2023) the sea between Kefalonia and Ithaca was like glass. This made even the journey to and from the island an absolute joy. Make sure you don't miss out on Poros, the town where the tour departs from. Its a lovely little town with some great bars right on the seafront and lovely hidden beaches.
