    An unmissable experience

    This tour has to be an absolute must for anybody staying in Kefalonia. So professionally arranged right from booking, to the tour itself. The pickup was on time and the coach very comfortable with air conditioning. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about our destination giving past and present information as we went along. I cant exaggerate enough about how breathtakingly beautiful Itheca actually is. It's an experience that will stay with you for a very long time. It was also very reassuring to have a very experienced coach driver as the roads are extremely precarious to navigate. I cant recommend this trip enough

    Ithakia Island Tour

    Excellent, friendly customer service when booking. Tour guide was excellent, very friendly, informative, and enthusiastic throughout the day. From our collectikn in Lassi the bus headed to Sami where we met the ferry to Ithaka. Timings were spot on, and the bus toured the island to the published schedule. Plenty of enjoyable stops to explore local villages and sample food. Would recommend KCG, and we plan for more future trips.

    KCG superb tours around Kefalonia and Ithaki

    Our guide ,Elvira and exceptionally skilled coach driver made this tour superb. All the necessary information was clear for all to hear . We thoroughly enjoyed Ithaki and the Villages are stunning . We had plenty of stops with enough time in each pretty harbour and town to relax, explore and take a drink or lunch . Very efficient and relaxing way to see a beautiful little island adjacent to Kefalonia and only 40 mins on the ferry . The roads are narrow, winding and steep in parts so not a place easily to navigate but definitely worth this tour . Enjoy .

    A day on Ithaca Island

    We went on a trip to Ithaca Island from Lassi. A wonderful day where we got to visit some lovely places with lots of information from our guide Elvira. Great driving also from Dennis. Extremely pleased we decided to do this trip. Good food and drinks available on Ithaca, not so great coffee on the boat to the island.

    Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia]: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cephalonia.

    How much does Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia] cost?

    +

    Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cephalonia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia] take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cephalonia is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia] worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cephalonia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia]?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia] suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia]?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cephalonia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cephalonia and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia] start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cephalonia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cephalonia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cephalonia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include "Dreamy cruise"Daily Cruise from Argostoli harbour with a traditional Greek boat, "QueenBee" Full-Day Boat Trip with Lunch, Kefalonia Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cephalonia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cephalonia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What happens to Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia] if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cephalonia. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Full-Day Discover Ithaka (Ithaca) Bus Tour [from Kefalonia]?
