Return to civilization with a visit to Ithaca, the legendary home of Odysseus. Dock in the charming town of Vathi and explore its waterfront cafes, archaeological museum, and shops.

Ithaca embodies the soul of Greece—authentic, welcoming, and endlessly inspiring.

Day 7: Friday - Ithaca to Lefkas

Conclude your circuit with a leisurely sail back to Lefkas, enjoying stops in quiet coves along the way.
