Among the Ionian Islands and west of Kefalonia is Ithaca, a haven for private luxury yacht charter boats looking for picturesque Greek towns, sheltered anchorages and a myriad of soft sandy beaches beside crystal clear waters on the island. View the full Greece yacht charter report.
What to see and do on your Ithaca holiday:
Home to Odysseus in Greek mythology, Ithaca has stunning natural scenery consisting of pale rocky outcrops, verdant forests and hidden lagoons; sea temperatures rise in the summer months for an enjoyable saltwater bath.
For groups looking to combine hiking and history, Homer’s School is located along an in-land trail near Exogi and visitors are rewarded with stunning views out over Afales Bay.
Dexa beach and Mnimata beach are conveniently close to the marina at Vathy, the largest settlement on the island. Instead, guests can visit the pale blue waters at Gedaki Beach to the north for family fun with the water toys in a sheltered and shallow bay.
Scuba diving is a popular activity while on holiday in Greece, and superyacht charters with Scuba equipment on board have the freedom to investigate the area’s dive sites, which include fulfilling beginner’s dives among sea horses and turtles, to cave dives and wreck dives for the more experienced. Snorkelers also won’t need to look far to uncover vibrant starfish and schools of fish that would make a tasty lunch on the sundeck barbeque.
If the charter group ever wants to move on from discovering one exquisite beach after another, Kefalonia and Lefkada are only a short cruise away and provide a more upbeat nightlife for guests looking to party long after dark.
In classical mythology Ithaca is the home of Odysseus, and this fantastical island is thronged with luscious beaches that set the scene for a romantic luxury charter or as a place to bring young family members to enjoy transparent shallow waters. Gedaki Beach is a prime example of the pale white sands that draw visitors to this peaceful and quiet island west of Kefalonia, and there is plenty of opportunity for adults and children to learn how to use all the water toys. The Acropolis of Alalkomenes and Agios Dionisios Church showcase Ithaca's past and present, completing a rewarding visit to the island.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Thank you to all of the amazing crew and our captain because it was you all who made this trip so special. I'm so thankful to have had this experience, and I hope I will be able to do it again! (…) What an incredible week! The islands, the boat and the food were outstanding, but the crew is what truly made our trip so special! Thank you for spoiling us. Can't wait for the next visit. Cheers. (…) Thank you for a wonderful trip that we all will remember for a long time. OMNIA is a beautiful yacht, but the key to our adventure was the crew! You all did an amazing job that made this the best trip ever! (…) We have been planning a trip to Greece for many years, and now have actually made it! What an amazing way to see a new country! The crew was outstanding - thank you all!
Hello Colin, Congrats, best crew ever. No remarks, all was perfect and the crew was a plus for the all journey, we could not have a more available and friendly crew. All water toys were always available in the water.
Colin, we loved it, loved the crew, the whole experience. We had a blast! The boat was a hit with the whole family, including our daughters, who were afraid of seasickness, so it worked out well!
Working with our charter broker, Trina Howes, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness were exceptional. She made the entire charter planning process effortless and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and matched us with the perfect yacht and crew. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible crew who made our yacht charter such an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard until the very last goodbye, they made us feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and completely at home. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect- from exceptional meals and impeccable service to thoughtful surprises and personalized touches that made our trip feel truly special. Our overall experience was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to hopefully working together again on future adventures!
The crew was awesome (5/5). They worked so well together and really seemed to enjoy working together. They took care of our every need and then some. The cuisine was amazing (5/5). The chef was excellent and had a broad range of cuisine. The country kitchen setup gave us a greater opportunity to interact with the chef, which was a really nice feature. The yacht's interior was immaculate (5/5), and the condition of the yacht was like new (5/5). We absolutely loved the layout, especially the indoor/outdoor option of the bar area on the top deck, and we loved the décor. The amenities onboard were excellent (5/5), with everything we needed and more. We particularly enjoyed the floating chairs and the beach chairs, and we had two great fishing trips - Bo and Hunter were fantastic on those outings. The only suggestion we would make is that the outside aft top deck was always in full sun. We would have used it much more if there had been some type of awning, similar to the one they have for the bow sitting area. We discussed this with the captain on Saturday, and he had already ordered it by Sunday! We would absolutely recommend Indigo and her crew to others. Although the yacht sleeps eight, we would recommend no more than six adults. If there are two to four children, then eight guests could work comfortably. As for your service, we honestly cannot think of a single thing you could have done differently or better to ensure the ultimate yachting vacation. You went so far above and beyond. Thank you!
Best trip yet! As always, the crew has gone above and beyond. 12 out of 10 across the board. Best trip yet!
