Discover Ithaca, the eternal symbol of the journey. This cruise is a deep dive into the Ionian blue, where ancient mythology meets raw, untamed beauty. The adventure begins at Gidaki Beach, a crown jewel accessible only by sea. Its electric turquoise waters and white pebbles create a scene so vivid the boat seems to float in mid-air. Next, we glide into Vathy, the island’s charming capital. Wander through narrow alleys lined with red-tiled neoclassical houses and see the tiny Lazaretto islet. It is the heart of Ionian hospitality, where time slows down by the peaceful waterfront. We then reach Kioni, a stunning village hidden in a lush green cove. With flower-draped stone houses and ancient windmills, it is a living postcard and the ideal spot for a traditional lunch. The journey ends at ammoudi beach. These rugged rocks and crystal depths offer a final, meditative swim, capturing the true, eternal spirit of the Ionian.

Poorly organised
We booked for the Ithaca tour for Thursday 1st October. We got notification two days before this that they may cancel it due to possible bad weather. But they also said we could, if we wanted re-book for Friday 2nd October instead. I replied to their email to confirm that is ok with us if the Thursday is cancelled. We then received notification that it was cancelled because of the weather for the Thursday. I emailed to double check we were booked on the amended sailing on the Friday, no reply. I then emailed on the morning of the Friday early, to check, still no reply. Erring on the side of caution, we went to Agia Efimia at the required time. We went to the guys handling people going onto the boat. We weren’t listed, I showed my booking, but obviously we only had the Thursday one not the amended one. We were told our booking was cancelled and we have had a refund. They, I think possibly Vageliss, was rather abrupt and rude, said we could pay again but we decided as they were so unfriendly not to bother. I really wouldn’t recommend booking with them, unprofessional, disorganised and unfriendly. We had to get up early, drive half an hour for the meeting time, and worried we would lose our money if we didn’t turn up to the amended date. His response was if he didn’t reply we weren’t confirmed. It’s not our job to manage his business and whether he bothers checking emails and replying to paying customers. We will book another boat trip with another more welcoming company.

cancelled but let us know via the app at 5 pm and we didn't see it
cancelled the night before but didn't ring to confirm we knew or had seen any cancellation so travelled forty minutes to see on the boat it doesn't travel on a wednesday , so I presume this was allowed to be booked to see if there was demand and cancelled when there wasn't . Few more on dock too wondering where everyone was , anyway paid twice as much for a boat on our own so we didn't waste the trip , do better

Romantica 2 Ithaka Trip
Fantastic day out, very informative and swimming in the small bays was amazing the 2 stops at the small towns for sightseeing and lunch along enough to enjoy but nothing too long to get bored

Lovely day out, friendly staff, beautiful stops.
Loved this day out. Friendly staff made us feel welcome. Clean tidy boat, well organised day. Loved seeing Kefalonia, Ithaca and the mountains of mainland Greece from the sea. Lovely swim stops and time to have a bite to eat and a stroll during the other stops.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cephalonia.
How much does Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 31 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 Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca?
+
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 Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca?
+
Around 11 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ulysses Path Round of Ithaca 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.
