From Vathi you will head to Kioni, a very pretty waterfront village for lunch. Stavros Village is your next stop.

I booked this trip well in advance but unfortunately no one else booked so was cancelled. I found out as wasn’t given pick up time so called to query and was told with less than 24 hours to go it wasn’t happening. Was given a different company’s name and did trip with them which was cheaper.

We went yesterday to Ithaca, can't explain how lovely the island is..... totally sold and need to spend a week there, true Greece, lovely people, quaint shops and good tavernas. Not for everyone as it's all about the peace and beauty, rather than things to do. A true gem. boat ride back can be a little rough for those who suffer with sea sickness but swim stops great for clear water as far as the eye can see.
