What's New On Ithaca Greece
August 2024
Thursday 1st - Below - Lefki from the back road that few people travel or even know about.
Above and Below - Kioni.
Above - I believe that everyone that has ever traveled to Ithaca will have taken this exact shot of Vathy bay from the road between Anoghi and Kathara.
Below - When you go off the beaten track you'll often come across wild fruit trees such as this pear tree.
Saturday 3rd - There's not much to say. It's Summer, it's August, most visitors to Ithaca are at the beach during the day and enjoying sea breezes around the baysides, north to south, in the evenings.
Tuesday 6th - Last night was the first night of the Stavros festival. Pics to come later. Meanwhile, lots of yachts in all the bays, sometimes it's hard to see past them. The flotillas are gone on the weekends, making it much quieter around the island, but come Monday, the yachts start sailing in again with a vengeance.
Below - Sotiros - Stavros Panighiri on the first night was a huge success. Very well organized and alot of fun. Click Here or on photograph below for more pics.
Thursday 8th - While there is so much activity on the island, you may be surprised that there are still places where you can find peace and quiet away from tourism despite Ithaca being one of the smallest islands in Greece.
