Vathy, the island’s capital, is easily reachable within a 30-minutes drive. A full sized marina including dock and wet mooring slips will allow you to sail the island in absolute comfort. This is where the health centre for emergencies is also located.

Villa Odysseus is located in the vicinity of Exogi village, within walking distance of the beaches of Aphales and Polis. Other known small and charming villages are: Frikes, Kioni, Perachori, Lefki and Stavros.

Ithaca is accessible from the ports of Patras, Kefalonia and Lefkada.
