Why travel by ferry from Ithaki to Sami?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Ithaki to Sami ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Sami. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Ithaki to Sami is an ideal way to travel.

You get much more rest than in the car
Driving for miles on end is not very relaxing, especially if you add the risk of traffic jams and accidents. The Ithaki Sami ferry trip is exactly the opposite. On board, depending on the Ionian Group, Kefalonian Lines or Lefkada Palace ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. You arrive in Sami stress-free and totally relaxed.
Taking your time becomes a pleasure
Everything in our society has to go fast. On board a Ionian Group, Kefalonian Lines or Lefkada Palace ferry you will enjoy a smooth start from Ithaki and sailing at less than 40km/h to Sami. All ships are equipped with a multitude of services (bar, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, etc...). You may even find your Ithaki-Sami crossing a little too short!
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Ithaki to Sami by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travellers beds, bathrooms and, in some suites, portholes and balconies. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
