Family day in Ithaca - This is an excellent tour to relax in Ithaca. Please be aware that approximately 10 is the tour be mindful of where you are being picked up from hotel the total day can be 12.5 hours for a hotel pickup on the other side of the island. The knowledge of the guid was amazing and the driver was extremely skilled. The beaches were stunning and definitely no need to take and food or drinks lots of amazing cafes, restaurants and shops on the tour. Enjoy by all aged 13-40s 🙂

Disappointing visit to Ithaca - The itinerary included time in Kioni which was the main reason for choosing this trip. We arrived at 12.40, it took a couple of minutes to get off the boat and we were told to meet at the clock tower at 1pm which did not give us anytime to look around. On our arrival in Frikes we were advised to go to a particular taverna, there are only 2, which was okay apart from the excessive number of wasps. We were told not to visit the other one as someone who used that taverna last year had food poisoning, not very professional from the tour guide. After leaving, we arrived at our next stop after a 20 minute journey and were advised to go to a particular cafe for coffee and cakes, we had a 50 mins stay but there wasn’t very much to see. We felt that our visit to Ithaca was based around recommended eateries, but it didn’t give us time to look around and see anything else. The visit to Vathy and boat trip were both very good, but overall a very disappointing day.
