Ithaca Villa Holidays

Ithaca villa holidays are pure escapism, where you can spend lazy days on pristine white beaches or lounging around your private swimming pool. And when you’ve had your fill of relaxing at your villa, there’s a glorious coastline to discover and tavernas to tempt you for a delightful meal at the water’s edge.

Villa holidays, Ithaca style

Island time ticks a little slower here than the rest of the world, which is what makes a holiday on Ithaca so deeply relaxing. A luxury villa on this Ionian Island gives you the perfect excuse to discover all its unspoilt landscapes, exploring the history and myths that saw Ithaca play its part in the epic stories of Odysseus, Achilles and Agamemnon. Ithaca is much less well known than its larger neighbours, but there are still treasures to be found, from the mountain village of Perachori – the ‘Balcony of Ithaca’ – to the sanctuary of Kathara Monastery. The pretty port town of Vathy makes a leisurely day out, with narrow streets to meander around, and a folklore museum giving a glimpse into the everyday lives of islanders in years gone by. Hiring a boat is easy and hands down the best way to experience the limpid seas and tiny coves of Ithaca’s stunning coastline. You’ll find all the information you need for your Ithaca villa holiday in our helpful guide.

Quotes
  • Our first holiday without the kids! Wonderful time, beautiful island, fabulous people - fully spoilt by Simpson Travel yet again!

    Mr Jeremy Webb, Neritos House

  • Ithaca is a beautiful, friendly, interesting island. Villa Elia is perfectly situated for wonderful sea swims and a peaceful holiday. What a joy.

    Mrs Shan Coupe, Elia Beach Villa

  • This was our second year at Kyparissi Suites and we have just returned home and booked for next year again. We love the simple but chic design, the spectacular views, the sunlight flooding in from both sides of the house and being able to walk down for a morning swim and coffee in the village of Kioni. It feels like a small corner of paradise. As I write this, I feel like I am giving away a beautiful secret. If you like the unspoilt simple life, Ithaca is for you. If you are looking for a more glossy version of a Greek island, try another Simpson Travel delight elsewhere - there is so much to choose from and the Simpson Travel service is second to none.

    Mrs Georgina Sayer, Kyparissi

  • Was a fabulous, relaxing holiday. The villa is lovely, just above a beach with views over the entrance to the harbour, and within walking distance of a good taverna on the water front. The island is very unspoilt compared with many others, and Simpson made everything completely stress-free!

    Julian Thomas, Loutsa Villa

  • Our second visit to Ithaca and we think it is our favourite Ionian island. The Bay House was our best yet with panoramic views, airy and very relaxing. Ideal for a couple. Close to two lovely beaches. Plenty of good tavernas and a couple of special restaurants.

    Mrs Sally Thomas, the Bay House
