📍 Cruise Highlights: Places We Visit
🌊 Gidaki Beach – The Hidden Paradise
Welcome to Gidaki Beach, one of Ithaca’s most stunning and secluded beaches. With its soft white pebbles, emerald waters, and untouched natural beauty, it’s the perfect spot for our first swim stop. Dive in, enjoy the waterslide, or simply soak up the Ionian sun in this exclusive, boat-access-only paradise.
🏛️ Vathi – The Historic Capital of Ithaca
Next, we arrive at Vathi, the charming capital of Ithaca. The picturesque harbor is home to the isle of Lazareto, featuring the Church of Sotiros (Savior), originally built in 1668. Wander through the quaint alleys, explore the Archaeological & Folklore Museum, and admire the statue of Odysseus, a tribute to the island’s legendary king. Feel the nostalgic atmosphere of this town that was rebuilt in traditional Venetian style after the 1953 earthquake.
⛵ Kioni – A Postcard-Perfect Seaside Village
A true Ionian gem, Kioni is a traditional fishing village where time seems to stand still. At the entrance to the bay, you’ll spot three historic windmills, remnants of a bygone era. The colorful houses, charming harbor, and lush hills create a magical setting. Enjoy a relaxing stroll, savor fresh seafood at a local taverna, or simply take in the breathtaking coastal views.
🏞️ Ai Gianni Cape – The Wild Beauty of Ithaca
Before heading back, we make a stop at Ai Gianni Cape, a place of untamed natural beauty. Towering cliffs drop dramatically into the deep blue sea, while hidden caves, stalactites, and wild goats add to the mystique. This rugged, awe-inspiring landscape is the perfect farewell to Ithaca, as we enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and panoramic Ionian views.

On our way back, we stop at the stunning Koutsoupia Beach, often called "Mini Myrtos" for its dazzling turquoise waters and pristine white sand.
