Sail deep into Homeric legend on a full-day voyage to Kefalonia and Ithaki — Odysseus's storied homeland — swimming in hidden sea-caves and secluded coves along the way. Two UNESCO-worthy islands in a single epic Ionian day.
What to expect
Leave Nydri at dawn as the Ionian light turns the water to hammered gold. The skipper traces Odysseus's legendary route south, pausing at Kefalonia's sea-cave beaches where you snorkel over ancient amphora fragments. Ithaki's port of Vathy arrives at lunchtime — step ashore for fresh calamari at a harbourside taverna before an afternoon of swimming off volcanic-black rocks. The return journey at sunset, with the silhouettes of seven islands on the horizon, is the kind of view you frame on your wall.
Good to know
Departs Nydri approximately 08:00; returns by 19:00 — confirm all-aboard time is later. Bring sea-shoes for volcanic shorelines, EU travel documents (inter-island travel), and book at least 1 week ahead. Prices from $71/EUR 65 based on 2026 listings.
