What a place! We feel in love with Ithaca and will definitely be returning.

This jewel of a Greek island in the Ionian Sea is spectacular, with amazing views of the coast and across the sea to Kefalonia.

We stayed in a small villa over looking the harbour in Vathy the capital of the island. Vathy has everything you need, including some really nice bakeries with amazing cakes!

We explored the island with a hire car, a must to find some really lovely secluded beaches. The island is really laid back and a complete change from daily life here… a real escape and highly recommended!
