Ithaca, a mythic return to simplicity
Ithaca is the smallest island in the Ionian and the one that holds the largest reputation — Homer’s home of Odysseus, a place where the mythology comes from the rocks themselves. Erra arranges visits that respect the quiet — secluded coves, hillside estates, and a slower rhythm than any neighbouring island offers.
What the island offers, quietly
Houses, not hotels
- Secluded waterfront villas, with infinity pools, panoramic terraces, and private mooring.
- Boutique estates, blending traditional Ionian architecture with contemporary five-star amenities.
- Hillside hideaways, with breathtaking views and holistic wellness programmes.
Coastline, on Ithaca’s terms
- Gidaki — accessible only by boat, with soft white pebbles and crystal-clear water.
- Filiatro — a chic, tranquil bay for a serene day.
- Sarakiniko Cove — a hidden gem framed by emerald water and lush hillsides.
On the water
- Yacht charter around the Ionian, exploring hidden caves, exclusive beaches, and Kefalonia and Lefkada.
- Sunset sailing along Ithaca’s coast, champagne and golden-hour magic.
- Diving and snorkelling excursions, uncovering shipwrecks, underwater caves, and Ionian marine life.
At the table
- Seaside fine dining, elegant Mediterranean plates in oceanfront settings.
- Private chef-led dinners, in secluded beach settings or at luxury estates.
- Wine tastings, with handpicked Ionian vintages and artisanal delicacies.
What stays with you
- Odysseus’s Palace, on a private guided visit — the legendary heart of the island.
- Archaeological walks, exploring hidden ancient ruins and centuries-old monasteries.
- Literary evenings, with poetry, music, and storytelling in historic settings.
Movement
- Chauffeur-driven SUVs for the long coastal drives.
- High-speed yacht and tender transfers between Ithaca and the surrounding Ionian.
- Helicopter access via Athens or Kefalonia, through Aviation.
