SwimTrek Ithaca Odyssey 2026

Accommodations in Vathy focus on authentic, laid-back Greek hospitality. You will typically find charming boutique hotels situated just meters from the waterfront, offering stunning views of the yachts and fishing boats in the port. These establishments often feature traditional architecture and are perfectly positioned for easy access to both the swim start points and local tavernas. Prices for a double room in this region generally range from 90€ to 200€ per night, depending on the season and proximity to the harbor.

Beyond the water, Ithaca offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Spend your non-swimming hours trekking the ancient trails that crisscross the island’s mountainous interior, or rent a kayak to reach secluded beaches inaccessible by land. Gastronomy is a highlight; immerse yourself in local culture by visiting traditional tavernas for fresh seafood and Ionian olive oil tastings. For history lovers, the island is dotted with archaeological sites waiting to be discovered, while the vibrant harbor of Vathy provides the perfect setting for a relaxed evening of local wine and Mediterranean hospitality.
