Port of Kioni

Kioni, is a picturesque bay, that looks like an amphitheatre. During a walk you will have fantastic views of the sea. Position 38°27 N 020°41,5 E.

At the north eastern side of Ithaca you see the ruins of three windmills at the cape Psigadi. On the mole in the port is a light beacon. At the dock, also in the bay possible. In the afternoon the wind is coming up! Give enough anchor cable!

Port of Phrikes

Small fish port with taverns. Not much to anchor. Caution, down gusts. Position 38°27,6N 020°40 E

The port is at the north-eastern side of Ithaki. The approximately 150 m long mole is marked with light beacon. Inside the mole boats can anchor directly at the dock. In case of no space inside anchor outside the mole with long lines. Give as much anchor cable as possible since the down gusts are sometimes very heavy. Let an anchor guard at the boat.

Ormos Polis

Large well protected bay, in ancient times Odysseus's homeport. From here he sailed with his fleet for Troia (Troy). Today only a small cave reminds of this times and some articles like pieces of broken glass and swords has been found there. Position 38°26,4N 020°38,4 E

The bay is located at the north west coast and open to southwest. Well protected in case of north wind and a good place for staying overnight. Some space at the mole. Normally boats are anchoring in the bay

Kolpos Aetou and Port of Vathy

Vathy is at the eastside of Ithaca, surrounded by high mountains, but easy to approach. Vathy is the capital of the island and a busy city with various shopping facilities. Approaching Kolpos Aetou you will soon see the entry of the port of Vathy, well marked by the beaconed lighthouses on the Cape of Agios Andreas and the island Skartsoumbo. Further on you pass the little island Loimokathartirion (Lazaretto), also marked with green radio beacon.

At the southwest dock or outside the short mole. Not well protected from the northwest wind and down gusts! Better anchorage in the northern part. Position 38°22 N 020°43 E
