Hotels on Ithaca: Where to Stay on Homer's Island
Most hotels on Ithaca are in Vathi, the capital and port, an easy walk from the centre with views over one of the finest natural harbours in Greece. Ithaca (Ithaki) is the small, green Ionian island remembered as the home of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, reached most easily via Kefalonia, and Vathi makes the natural base for a stay.

Where to stay on Ithaca
Ithaca is quiet and unspoiled, and its accommodation is concentrated in and around Vathi, the capital, which curls around a deep, sheltered bay. Staying in Vathi puts you within walking distance of the tavernas, cafes and waterfront, with the rest of the island - its hill villages and pebble coves - an easy drive away.
Mentor Hotel, Vathi
The Mentor Hotel stands in the port of Vathi, within walking distance of the centre and with a panoramic view over the harbour, 45 kilometers from Kefalonia airport. Its rooms - 4 suites, 28 double and 4 single - are fully renovated with a private bathroom, air conditioning, TV and direct-dial telephone, and every one looks out over the calm sea and the green of the island. There is a restaurant and roof garden, a ground-floor cafe-bar facing the sea, and services including a 24-hour reception, room service and internet access.
