'ITHAKI
 The beautiful, mythical country of Odysseus. Stop for a  swim and a tasty meal at the local tavern at southernmost tip of Andri. Keep sailing north-west until you reach the majestic bay of  Molos, where Vathi, lthaki's main harbour is located. Kioni and Frikes  are worth a visit too, as well as  Stavros from where Odysseus is said to have sailed for Troy.

Places to moor

Frikes €“ A small harbour which some caution must be taken when entering  especially the rocks which are above and below around the islets under  Ag. Nikolaos. If there is a strong wind anchorage is not recommended.

Kioni €“ An attractive bay with whitewashed houses. There  are no dangers in entering the bay. There are no water or fuel  facilities but you can find provisions as well as tavernas.

Porto Vathi €“ The main port of Ithaca. Even though most of the buildings are recent (due to the earthquake in 1953) the harbour offers a pleasant  atmosphere. Fuel and water are available as well as provisioning. The  harbour itself is fairly protected and if there are strong gusts they  usually die down by the evening.

Pera Pigadhi - There is a small quay on the islet if there  is no room then anchor off just south of the islet. This bay can get a bit rough mid afternoon. The waters here are extremely clear so  do miss out on a swim.

Ag Andreou €“ Is located South of Ithaca. It is deserted here which makes it an ideal spot for a barbecue.

Port Polis €“ This large bay is located NW of Ithaca. You have the choice of  anchoring at the small mole or you can anchor off the beach. When they  are southerly winds we do not recommend it.
