Ithaca

Ithaca – Sailing into myth and peace

This small Ionian island, home of Odysseus, welcomes sailors with calm waters, excellent shelter, and a timeless atmosphere. It's a place to rest, reflect, and reconnect.

⚓ Vathi – Main Harbor

Vathi is the capital and main port of Ithaca, nestled deep in a well-protected bay. It offers excellent shelter from all wind directions.

Stern-to mooring is standard, with anchor required. Holding is generally good in mud. The quay is central, with tavernas, mini markets, and basic services within walking distance.

Water and electricity are available upon request, and fuel delivery is easy to arrange. It’s a solid stop for a restful night or to explore the island.
