Highlights

Embark on an enchanting journey around the stunning island of Ithaca aboard a classic wooden boat. Your day will be filled with the beauty of crystal-clear waters, rich culture, and delicious traditional Greek snacks, fresh seasonal fruits, and juices.


Explore the pebble beaches at Pera Pigadi, Filiatro, and Gidaki, where the water is transparent, clean, and adorned with a gentle turquoise hue. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling in these serene and picturesque locations.


Next, visit the charming village of Vathy, the capital of Ithaca. This attractive settlement showcases a pronounced Venetian influence, with pretty houses featuring tiled roofs, imposing mansions, and picturesque stone-paved alleys. Wander through the village and uncover its hidden gems.


Capture the beauty of "Lazaretto," a small island in the bay of Vathy. Covered with pine trees, this island is home to only one building, the chapel of the Transfiguration of the Savior, offering a unique and tranquil photo opportunity.
