Trip to Ithaka's paradise - The trip by boat was planned very well in all its details... We loved the stops for swimming in two wonderful beaches of Ithaka... We also had time for shopping in the chic boutiques of Vathi and Koni. The boat crew was really kind and professional and the boat comfortable... We do suggest this excursion!

Lovely day of sailing & swimming - Highlights for me were the swim stops. Loved getting into the beautiful sea for a swim. Visiting the towns of Vathy & Kioni was lovely, but there just isn’t time to do much more than finding somewhere nice to sit for a meal or a drink. If you really want to explore Ithaca, you should spend several days on the island. It’s a fun day of sailing & swimming. Great crew, informative & friendly.

A perfect relaxing tour to an amazing exclusive part of Greece - The trip was well organised and friendly. KefaloniaExcursions staff (Sophie - brilliant) were helpful and kept us informed of everything we needed to know. Everyone took the covid19 precautions really seriously. We had a split party and they kindly arranged pick up and drop off for one of our party. It was a no stress tour with a brilliant agenda and timings were just right. We all had an amazing time. Thank you!!

Great cruise to Ithaca - Very well organized, fun cruise from Kefalonia to Ithaca. The two swim stop locations are amazing. We would have loved a bit more time in Vathy, the capital, but otherwise we had a great time. Great way to spend the day!

Bit of a disaster - We booked this through Trip Advisor before leaving the UK and didn't know name of company, it was just called 'Cruise to Ithica'. Our confirmation included a phone number and the place of departure, stated at Skala although no time given for us to arrive. When we arrived in Kefalonia I asked hotel reception if they would ring number to let us know what time we should be in Skala. It turned out that we needed to be in Poros, not Skala-informed by email after two phone calls. There were two boats on the day we went out with this boat tour (which is Valsamis cruises). We were on the smaller boat. My sons sat downstairs inside and they ended up trapped in a seating area with choking fumes as the carpet was taken up during the trip due as the crew tried to mend a broken engine. Half way through we were all piled onto the bigger boat as ours had lost power and couldn't make final stop of tour so boat in limp mode was taken back to Poros empty. The places visited were great but the boat was a disaster. My advice is book a boat when you get to Kefalonia so you know what you are getting and what the arrangements are and make sure the reviews are good.
