Build a Greece itinerary

Choose up to three islands or regions and how many days you have. You get a day-by-day plan from the places in our guide — a sight, a beach and a taverna each day, kept to one part of the island — with honest transfer days between destinations. We tell you how to travel between them; for times, always check the ferry operator.

Worth booking in Ithaca

Gidaki by boatThe island's famous pebble beach, reached by boat from Vathy or a stiff forty-minute walk over the headland.The Homeric sitesThe Cave of the Nymphs, the School of Homer above Stavros and the Arethusa Spring — none of them ticketed, which is part of the pleasure.Paired with KefaloniaThere is no airport: most people arrive from Sami on Kefalonia, which makes the two islands an easy pair rather than a choice.

Where to stay in Ithaca

Live prices and availability on a map centred on this exact spot — hotels, studios and villas — so you can judge the distance to the beach, the port or the village from here rather than guess from an address.

Bookings made through this map earn us a commission. Your price is unaffected.

Odysseus' island: 96 square kilometres of green hills and deep harbours off the north-east coast of Kefalonia, with 2,862 inhabitants, two villages everybody falls for, and no airport, no resort and no rush.
