Driving From Athens


Athens to Kyllini 3 hrs 25 mins - 287km
If you have some time to spare try taking a more scenic route via Nafplion - Olympia - Kyllini.



Athens to Astakos 3 hrs 52 mins - 299km
If you have some time to look around, try an alternate route which takes you through Delfi and Araxova before heading to Astakos.


Flying from Athens


If bus and ferry travel hours put you off you still have one more alternative. There are flights from Athens to Argostoli in Cephalonia several times per week and in summer, daily. Planes land at Argostoli airport. From there you'll need to catch a taxi, bus or hire a car to Sami from where you catch the ferry, Ionian Pelagos to Ithaca
Flight - 40 min approx
Driving Argostoli to Sami port - 45 minsr
Ferry - 30 mins to Piso Aetos | 1 hr to Vathy Ithaca.

Carriers who serve Athens/Kefalonia route are:

Aegean Air
Olympicair
Easy Jet
Ryanair

During the summer months, there are also many tour group charters flying into Kefalonia. It's always worth checking if there are some spare seats on these flights. You may get a bargain.

Unfortunately the flight times and ferry times do not always co-ordinate so be prepared for a night's stay in Kefalonia or alternately, you can catch a sea taxi across to Ithaca at any time.

 

Other Travel Options


There are also Ferries from Italy which have routes to Patras and Igoumentisa. There are good choices of ferries and they leave Italy from Ancona, Brindisi and Venice.
From Patras you will need to drive, taxi or take a bus to Astakos (below)

or Kyllini (below)

ports for your ferry connections to Ithaca.

From Igoumentisa you can drive, taxi or take a bus to Lefkada (Lefkas) from where you can make your ferry connection to Ithaca. (Remember this route is weather and season dependent. The Captain Aristides or Meganissi ferries does NOT run all year around.)

You can also fly into Preveza (Araxos airport) take the tunnel to Lefkada and then ferry to Ithaca.

 

Getting to Ithaca may not be the easiest thing to do, but we believe you'll think the effort worth it!
