Arriving in Ithaca


Another trip we have done while in Kephalonia was to Ithaca, the island of Odysseus.

From Ítaca

This trip was also organized by Arke, our travel agency.
A taxi picked us up at the Hotel in Xi Beach to take us to Lixouri where we took a ferry to Argostoli, Kefalonia's capital. From there, we took a bus to Sami, located on the central east coast of the island. There, many buses with tourists, most of them Dutch and British, were waiting for their turn to get into the ferry to Ithaca.

A journey with outstanding panoramics...

This sky, this sea...

Everything so blue, so relaxing...

I felt that everything was so exotic. All the means of transport we needed to take to get to Ithaca, the beauty of those islands and  specially the names of the towns: Lixouri, Argostoli, Sami. Poirot and all the exotic journeys he had done crossed my mind for a couple of minutes ;-)

After arriving in Ithaca, we left the ferry and climbed a bit to the place where we should wait for the bus and where I took the photo below.

Acertei! :))))
Bem, confesso que fui ao google para tentar descobrir que ilha estaria próxima de Cefalonia. E assim aprendi algo mais :))
Continuo a gostar muito da viagem e a vontade de lá ir cresce a cada post :)))
Beijinho e um excelente Domingo!

Primeiro gostei da nova visão natalícia do blogue! :)
Fiz umas viagens inter-ilhas mas não fui a Ítaca.
Adorei e estou a adorar este Verão extemporâneo.
