Without this trip, your holiday will be incomplete. - This cruise must be done. The Captain and crew are so friendly, the snacks are good. They take an excellent route very close to the island. It is truly beautiful, The stops are very interesting, including the opportunity to swim from the boat to an exclusive beach. Highly recommended.

A wonderful day cruising... - A wonderful day cruising from Kefalonia to Ithaca. We stopped to swim at some beautiful locations. The crew treated us to some lovely local food and snacks, and couldn't do enough to make the journey an amazing day. Who wouldn't want to spend the day cruising around these beautiful islands seeing the wildlife and views?!

A wonderful day! - What a beautiful day, amazing! Well organised. Informed of pickup times in advance, stress free. Staff friendly, boat clean with good facilities on board. A beautiful fun trip. Would highly recommend!!!

Chilled day with friendly crew - A really chilled day with friendly crew. Time to relax and unwind and enjoy the views across the Ionian Sea. Plenty of space on the boat when we went in early July. The captain sailed close to some parts of the shore so we could admire caves and rock formations. And the crew gave us some commentary from time to time. Just about the right amount of time at each stop. 3 swim stops - 2 in swimming distance of beaches. Floats were available for people who needed them. Then stops to explore Vathy and the little island of Lazareto. Plenty of juice, water, watermelon and savoury snacks served between stops. We’ve previously done bbq cruises and thought just snacks would leave us unsatisfied - but they left us content and not too full and sleepy for afternoon swim spots (plus room for cheese pies when we stopped in Vathy!). The trip ran exactly to time too. With the captain comfortably navigating choppy conditions back across the bay to Sami.

One day trip to Ithaca - Excellent trip, with great beaches. Very friendly and very professsionnal crew.,Enables you to access to marvelous places for swimming, Great pleasure/price ratio !

Magical and unforgettable - Swimming in beautiful bays which can only be reached by boat, lovely helpful crew and a great visit to Ithaca town. Watermelon snacks freshly cut, lunch of fresh bread, feta and tomatoes - perfect for the day. Whilst there was no tannoy, the crew came round to talk with us and explained the various stops we had - much better. Beaches can only be reached by swimming - please note. An unforgettable day out. A massive thank you to the crew.

Very nice! - The trip to the Itaka was the best day of our trip. The captain and his crew were very nice and accommodating!

Trip canceled - Trip was canceled - so when the tour contacted me directly, I asked if there were any tours that were going for our date. We ended up doing something very similar for 1/3 of them price. There are not enough tourists on the island for a lot of trips to be running.

A must-do while in Kefallonia! A wonderful experience! - I would like to thank Zaharatos Cruises (booked through Kefallonia Excursions) for the unforgettable day I had around the magical island of Ithaka. We were warmly welcomed on board at 9 am and since that very first moment we always felt safe and treated like VIP's. The boat was elegant and cosy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The cruise was very well planned because we stopped in stunning places for diving and swimming, and we also had time for shopping and a light lunch at Vathi, the capital of Ithaka. We were even given watermelon and local bread with cheese on board several times during the cruise. What a wonderful surprise that was! I sincerely suggest everybody staying in Kefallonia to go on this daily cruise. I will never forget this amazing experience! P.S.: The cruise was from 9 am till 4.30 pm and we paid an incredible low rate of €30,00 per person!

Good budget option - lacking in communication though - It was a good day, with some nice stops and snacks on board, however - the experience could've been better with some communication from the crew. It's quite a long day (slow boat hehe) without any introductions, stories about the region (something about a guy named Homer maybe?), etc. They didn't even communicate about why we had stopped (oh, we can jump off the ship and swim now?) and how much time we had until we had to go back. You had to ask. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a good budget option, but if you want to make it more memorable, you might want to consider a different company with some more interaction. Especially if you're a solo traveler.
