Some journeys are simply about reaching a destination. This one is about everything in between.
Departing from Skala, Kefalonia, this full-day cruise invites you to slow down, breathe in the salt air of the Ionian Sea, and let the beauty of one of Greece's most legendary islands unfold before your eyes. Ithaca — the island that inspired the greatest journey ever told — is waiting.
From the moment you step on board, the atmosphere sets the tone. Music plays softly, the sun deck beckons, and a shaded area ensures your comfort throughout the day. Our crew — warm, attentive, and always at your service — will make sure every moment on board feels effortless. Do not hesitate to ask them for anything. They are here for you.
The first swim stop is a hidden cove nestled near the tiny chapel of Agios Ioannis, hidden from the beach itself. Accessible only by boat, this is Ithaca at its most raw and untouched. Dive in, feel the turquoise waters embrace you, and let the unspoiled shoreline and perfect silence remind you how rare and beautiful this world can be.
From there, the cruise continues into Vathy, the capital of Ithaca — a place that moves at its own gentle pace. Stroll along the harbour, sit at a waterfront café, wander through its narrow streets, or simply absorb the quiet elegance of this remarkable town. One and a half hours of free time are yours to spend as you wish.
The journey then leads to Gidaki Beach — one of the most celebrated beaches in the Ionian Sea. Dramatic cliffs frame a sweep of turquoise water so vivid it seems almost unreal. Swim, float, and let the moment carry you.
The final swim stop is at Koutsoupia Beach — a breathtaking and secluded paradise framed by lush green hills and dramatic scenery, reachable only by sea. Here, the water is impossibly clear, the surroundings untouched, and the feeling is one of pure privilege.
As the boat turns back towards Skala, the Ionian Sea stretches golden in the afternoon light. You carry with you not just memories of beautiful beaches, but the feeling of having truly discovered something rare.
This is not just a cruise. This is Ithaca, the way it was meant to be experienced.
