Ithaca
NEW FOR 2010
Ithaca (Ithaki) is smaller than many of the Greek islands, and slightly more difficult to reach. For that reason, it has escaped the mass tourism of some of the other islands, and it’s this that makes it the perfect escape.
Its charm is inescapable and its sleepy way of life endearing. Whatever you do, wherever you go, everything about this magical island is laid back and relaxed, and Ithaca’s friendly people will do their best to make you feel welcome – it’s no coincidence that many visitors return year after year.
The scenery is breathtaking – with beautiful remote mountain villages, olive groves beneath rocky mountains, fertile green valleys, and crystal-clear waters that lap the pebble coves on the coast. There are also stunning views out to sea and the surrounding islands, including Cephalonia, as well as to the distant mainland beyond.
Ithaca really is a magical place. So, if you’re looking for spectacular views and excellent walking, a gentle boat trip or a secluded beach, the buzz of experiencing an Ithacan festival, or the peace and quiet of a sleepy village square, then look no further.
