Why travel by ferry from Sami to Ithaki?

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

Taking your time becomes a pleasure
Everything in our society has to go fast. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a Ionian Group, Kefalonian Lines or Lefkada Palace ferry for the 9 mi between Sami and Ithaki will be a relaxing stop. All ships are equipped with a multitude of services (bar, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, etc...). You may even regret arriving in Ithaki so quickly!
Take an unlimited amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. However, when you board a Ionian Group, Kefalonian Lines or Lefkada Palace ferry in Sami, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Ithaki. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with Ionian Group, Kefalonian Lines or Lefkada Palace.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Sami to Ithaki 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.
