Program

Meeting at 6pm (or later based on arrival times) at the port of Sami, accommodation in the cabin and briefing.

From Sami (base port in Kefalonia, reachable by plane or ferry) we head north with a stop in the bay for a first swim in the splendid waters of Ionian Greece. In the evening we reach the famous Fiscardo, a stop in Kefalonia before reaching Ithaca.

Heading towards the white cliffs north west of Ithaca, Kioni , a beautiful village with a splendid bay from which a beautiful path takes us to the highest peak of Ithaca (800 m of positive altitude difference). Stunning view from above

Walking we also reach Perachori with its Venetian bell tower, frescoes and views and then begin a pilgrimage to the places described by Homer in the southern part of the island, the most desolate and inaccessible.

From the panoramic Katharon Monastery you ascend to Nerito, cross the expanse of Paleocora where you can see the monoliths of Anoghi, and then descend towards Frike

From Stavros we go to explore the Marmaka peninsula and its very beautiful beaches to reach Pilikata and the "school of Homer" or go up to Exoghi from which we glimpse Jerusalem as a ghost city and arrive at the gulf of Polis, where a votive fragment in honor of Odysseus and 12 of the 13 Homeric braziers.

Friday return to Kefalonia, last dinner together to relive memories.

Saturday 8.30am landing.
