Do this because
Die Insel ist geprägt von Geschichten aus der antiken griechischen Mythologie, darunter auch die des Helden Odysseus
Sie machen Halt in Vathi, der Hauptstadt der Insel, und ihrem hufeisenförmigen Hafen
Eine Bootsfahrt entlang der Küste nach Kioni ist inbegriffen, mit einer Badepause zum Abkühlen
Sie besuchen die Dörfer Kioni, Frikes und Stavros und lernen das Leben der Einheimischen kennen
Ihr ortskundiger Tourguide verfügt über unübertroffene Kenntnisse über Ithaka und wird Ihnen unterwegs seine Erkenntnisse mitteilen
What to expect
Die Insel Ithaka, die seit der Antike als Heimat von Odysseus bekannt ist, liegt vor der Nordostküste Kefalonias. Sie ist zwar nur eine kurze Bootsfahrt entfernt, aber ein Besuch ist wie eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Ihre zerklüftete und bergige Landschaft scheint direkt aus einem antiken Klassiker zu stammen. Dmitri, einer unserer ortskundigen Tourguides, sagt: "Die Legende von Odysseus auf der Insel Ithaka ist eine klassische Geschichte über Abenteuer, Heldentum und Beharrlichkeit im Angesicht von Widrigkeiten. Sie wurde im Laufe der Jahrhunderte immer wieder erzählt und ist bis heute ein beliebter Teil der antiken griechischen Mythologie."Auf Ihrer Entdeckungstour durch Ithaka werden Sie viele mythische Geschichten hören. Erkunden Sie die Hauptstadt Vathi mit ihrer märchenhaften Lage und dem hufeisenförmigen Hafen unter dem höchsten Berg der Insel - Nirito. Als Nächstes fahren Sie mit dem Boot nach Kioni im Norden, vorbei an Klippen und geheimen Stränden - es gibt auch einen Badestopp, um sich abzukühlen. Ithaka ist vom Massentourismus weitgehend verschont geblieben, sodass Sie bei einem Besuch der Insel des Odysseus Griechenland in seiner reinsten Form erleben werden.Wenn Sie in Kioni von Bord gehen, entdecken Sie einen kleinen, malerischen Hafen. Der Hauptort ist wie ein Amphitheater an den Hang gebaut, und die blumengeschmückten Häuser blicken auf den Hafen. Anschließend fahren Sie zum noch kleineren Hafen von Frikes, der nicht viel mehr ist als eine Ansammlung von Tavernen am Ufer, und genießen hier entspannt ein Mittagessen. Den Abschluss bildet ein Zwischenstopp im Bergdorf Stavros mit seinem begrünten Hauptplatz, bevor Sie nach Kefalonia zurücksegeln,

This is a fantastic day out, our tour guide and driver were brilliant (thank you Eleni and Dimitris). Along the route Eleni would tell us interesting stories and facts about the island, we were never rushed and had plenty of time in Vathi, and for lunch. The boat ride and swim stop was great, everyone got a seat on the boat and the swim was a welcome break from the heat in calm turquoise water

Diamond our guide was absolutely fantastic. 5 stars! Spiros our driver had superb driving skills and a quiet coolness about him. Ithaca was breathtaking, one of the most beautiful islands I’ve been to and my stress literally melted away. I didn’t want to leave. If I had one slight improvement I’d have wanted 40 mins in the water instead of 30 but that’s pretty minor!

The whole day was great from start to finish. Seeing small villages and experiencing local delicacies as well as having a bit of free time to do whatever you wanted to. Loved the swim off the boat. Eleni made the tour come alive and Dimitri, the driver, was a master! He got a round of applause at one stage from the whole bus for getting round a corner where someone had parked, leaving mere centimetres between the coach and the car! There was nothing we did not enjoy.

First of all the tour took 12hrs not 8hrs. The coach arrived at 6:50 for a 7:10 pickup, lucky enough we were early. The stop at Stavros just to eat cake /drink coffee seemed pointless when heading straight to Frikes for lunch. The Lunch stop would have been better at Kioni which seemed a much more prettier place than Frikes. Diamond although very knowledgeable about Ithaki was more interested in chatting to the local Greeks and the coach driver rather than interacting with the tour group.

A great day out. Very knowledgable guide Diamond who organised the day carefully. Extremely skilful coach driver Spiros. Disappointing that we couldn’t swim during the boat trip but the local crew knew the wind was increasing and we accepted their need to prioritise safety. Coach journey to Sami gave a wonderful opportunity to see the countryside. I would not personally recommend the rice and honey cakes - felt like a bit of a rip off for tourists.

Doing this trip is a must... Ithaca must be the prettiest of all the greek islands. Diamond was the most knowledgeable guide and her recommendation of where to go for lunch (Ageri in Frikes) was spot on. Best cooked squid we have ever tasted. Perhaps make this like the Premier tour and include tea, cake, lunch etc. And make the gap between elevenses and lunch slightly bigger!

Second year that I have enjoyed this trip. I absolutely love it, the peace and serenity I feel when on that island is unparalleled. The total wow factor of the swim stop and without giving it away the last 20 mins of the coach journey back to the boat are extremely thought provoking.at the same time is being serene. I would highly recommend this trip and our lovely tour guide and driver. I will be back ??

I have done this tour a few times now, always with Tui. I have some points of improvement. The majority of people on these trips have always been older, and some less mobile. I cannot understand why the trip always stops in Frikes for lunch? It is ok, but certainly nowhere near as pretty as the little harbour village where you catch the boat from. Why not stop there for lunch, giving people an improved experience of mooching to the boat after lunch instead of rushing on a long walk in heat?

I thought that the tour was perfect. The guide, Mimi, gave us enough background information on Ithaca's myths and legends and I thought she pitched this just right. She was always friendly and helpful and we appreciated the recommendations on the local cuisine. The places we visited were lovely and we had the right amount of time to appreciate them, and we also enjoyed the boat trip and swim stop by a beautiful beach. All in all a grand day out and very good value.

Our guide Diamond was amazing, she knew everything about the history of Ithica and conveyed it to the tour party very well in an interesting & informative way - she must be an amazing asset to Tui. Big thanks also to our driver (Spiros ?) for his excellent driving skills.

Whole day was a great experience visiting 4 of Ithaki's town's / villages with plenty of time to enjoy the ambiance of the different locations. It said in the tour that there would be a beach stop but not that it involved a boat trip from Kioni to Vathy. As the sea was rather choppy I opted to return to Vathy on the coach rather than be sea sick on the boat, which the guide & driver were willing to accommodate for me.

Obviously this tour is tied to the ferry service between Kefalonia and Ithaca, resulting in an 7:00am early start. Ithaca is a lovely island and our guide was clearly an enthusiast; however we did seem to spend a lot of time at various locations for either coffee or lunch, as well as a swim stop which only 6 of the tour group participated in. Clearly there is a need to fill the day before heading back on the late afternoon ferry resulting in a 6:35pm return to our hotel

I don’t like the 2 hour tour of the island before we get to Sami. Also I was given a pick up pint of Aristomenis, I was the only one from lourdas so don’t know why I couldn’t have been picked up from Antonia. It is more accessible. I did like on the home journey I was transferred to a small coach early so didn’t have to do all the drop offs.

Her love and passion for this island really shone through and was inspiring. The tour packed a lot in without feeling rushed, was well organised and though we were least looking forward to ths boat part and swim, it was one of the highlights it was a great way to really appreciate the landscape and its islands

Diamonds knowledge of the area was fabulous. She passed on her stories and her love of the islands. Spiro's coach driving skills were amazing on the small roads. Each stop was well described with time to explore or refresh ourselves. Time management was perfect. The small boat ride and sea swim was so beautiful, it will be a memory I keep forever. Unfortunately the day was very hot but the air con on the coach was a pleasure. It was a fantastic day and I'd thoroughly recommend it to others.

We have really enjoyed this experience overall. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative, and we loved the scenery and history of the island. The reason why I have put a lower score for safety is because during the boat trip, the boat’s crew appeared to have arguments about the steering of the boat (with loud shouting on a couple of occasions) and we narrowly avoided a collision with another boat on the open sea as a result.

The coach trip around Ithaca was very good; driver and guide were excellent. The swim stop may be slightly long at 45 minutes, as it seemed that the majority weren’t interested in swimming.

Ithaca was a beautiful island to visit the guide Diamond was very informative. We had an enjoyable lunch stop but I felt the second stop for cake was completely unnecessary. I had serious concerns that the boat that took us around the island was extremely full & cramped there were hardly enough seats & everyone was crammed in. Also the driver of the mini bus on the return journey to our hotel drove extremely dangerously, constantly using his phone & at one point steering with his elbows!!

This was a dissapointment compared to the Premier trip, the island of Ithica was advertised as being "30 years behind" but it really isn't. For me it is not distinct from the main island. It is an extremely long day and felt like we were just dropped off at random locations to walk about. I also struggled to keep up with where we were going and unfortunately I put this down to the guide, however her knowledge of history was very good. Not recommended unless you are desperate to see Ithica.

Great trip to Ithaca, worth the early start. Diamond our guide was so informative and made sure we all embraced the island’s history. Ferry crossing was fine, same coach so you could leave belongings on, Spiros the driver was a star! Vathy the capital port maybe a bit too long, the boat trip was good with a nice swim stop, quick walk through pretty Kioni, then an amazing lunch in Frikes by the sea before a final coffee and cake stop in Stavros with a little museum. Such a picturesque island.

Ithaca is a beautiful, unspoilt, peaceful island. The day was really well planned with short but lovely stops at 3/4 small villages, and a wonderful boat trip with a swim from the boat, which was a highlight. Overall it’s a nice balance of culture/historical/scenic, but possibly the thing that made the day so special was our amazing guide, who told us stories, history and interesting facts along the way. Thank you Memi! ??

There was very little information about the itinerary of the trip on the website so when we booked it, we weren't informed that the day trip would be 12 hours long. iIt was a very long day. Our guide was very pleasant and helpful.

Have been on this trip with Tui for many years. However, as stated in my review last year why isn't more time allocated to browse at Kioni. There was always time in the past, in fact, it was, in the early days, our lunch stop. I asked the guide why it changed and she stated it was because it was too hot with no breeze. We were rushed through so fast 6 people couldn't keep up and got lost! However, still remains excellent trip and well worth money.

Too much complicated story about odyssey’s journey that we missed the point of as it went on too long so we lost concentration. There was a snack stop followed by lunch stop literally 5 minutes drive later! However we all still thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the beautiful swim in turquoise waters and had a lovely lunch - and the guide was very friendly abd enthusiast despite clearly feeling unwell on the way back! Overall the 6 of us gave the day a big thumbs up!

A written guide might be good with a map? Nothing to pick up at all, the whole day was a lovely experience.

We have visited Ithaca several times and have always thoroughly enjoyed the experience and this trip was no exception. Once again though I need to draw your attention to the confirmation email received at the time of booking via the app. The pick up time stated was 6. 45 from "Princess" whereas we are staying in Kekatos Lourdas. "Princess" presumably refers to Kekatos in Lassi. After querying this the pick up time was amended to 6.10 which is quite a difference. Same scenario on Premier trip.

I liked the capital but not enough time there. Would have preferred lunch here as more choice

We enjoyed the whole day. Effie our tour guide was very jolly and is a lovely lady, she was also very helpful and is extremely knowledgeable about the Island. The coach driver on Ithaca was very good and we felt safe with him driving along those winding roads, he was also very cheerful. The only downside to the trip was that it was a very long day with an early pickup and late arriving back at our hotel but it didn’t stop us enjoying it.

There really was not enough on Ithaca to justify a full day starting at 6:30am. The boat trip was over long and cramped. Only half the people on the boat took the opportunity to swim. There were no refreshments available, either on the boat or nearby beach. Vathi was probably the best part of the trip and just about the right amount of time The walk through Kuoni was rushed and more time could have been spent there. Frikes was nice for lunch, very little else there Stavros was a waste of time.

Our guide was the most lovely lady extremely friendly and down to earth very passionate about her subject the trip was very good with just maybe swapping the last stop and the swim stop for a visit to the monastery we were told about but didn’t visit! The swim stop is unnecessary and feels disjointed with the day also last stop could be left out too we didn’t really want cake and coffee when we’d just had lunch saying this the trip is definitely worth doing stunning island with beautiful views

everything was fantastic. The rep Diamond certainly lived up to her name! Her knowledge and experience about the Island was exceptional. The coach, ferry and boat journeys were all good. We had an absolute brilliant day and would have no problems recommending this trip. First class all round.

I enjoyed the whole experience, apart from the swim stop. I didn't take part. However, having looked at other tour agencies that offered similar but cheaper Ithaca tours, they seemed to spend less time on dry land and had more swim stops. Not for me!
