Inspired by Odysseus, the mythical king of Ithaca and his famous travel adventures, we are pleased to offer a unique sea experience.
Odyssey Sea Kayak Club was established in 2013 and it is located on Ithaca, one of the seven main islands of the Ionian Sea. Ithaca is offering a vertical rocky coastline with beautiful little bays and pebble beaches, a venue ideal for sea kayaking.
ITHACA

An amazing island for sea kayaking right in the heart of the Middle Ionian Sea.
Sea kayaking in Greece at its best, at an area which is one of the most popular sea kayaking destinations in the Mediterranean Sea and in the world.
The position of the island between Kefalonia Lefkas and Mainland Greece is protecting Ithaca from big swells and strong winds.
Experience sea kayaking
Paddling in the warm crystal, clear waters of Ithaca island and exploring the scenic coastline and the picturesque villages will make your paddling vacations unique. Sea kayaking in Greece is always an unforgettable experience..
Ithaca’s rich history and culture and the genuine hospitality of the locals are some of the reasons that you need to visit Ithaca for your active kayak holidays with your company or your family. Our guides will tell you many stories and facts about the island, always with attention to safety during the trip.
Our Expeditions
East to West Project: samos to ithaca
- 22 Days
- 1 Kayaker
- 500 Nautical Miles
- Unsupported
In November 2019 George Lilas completed our longest expedition so far. East to West project was about paddling from Samos island to Ithaca and Kefalonia. It was a charity project to support the general hospital of the two island in Argostoli. The biggest challenge of the trip was to cross the Aegean Sea which can be a dangerous area for kayaking in the Winter. Crossing the Corinth Canal, paddling under the Rio-Antirio bridge and visiting the Mesologhi lagoon were some of the highlights of the trip. Ocean paddler magazine accomodated an article about this expeditions and some national tv networks covered this trip.
We are planning more challenging expeditions in the near future.




Crete to Ithaca Project

In March 2015 we undertook and amazing expedition. The project was to paddle from Crete to Ithaca. There was no support and there was only one kayaker paddling all alone. The most challenging part of the trip was crossing from Crete island to the Peloponense which includes two 20+ nautical miles open sea crossing.

Four of us had a lovely time kayaking from Odyssey base in Vathi to Filiatro bay.
Great guide accompanied us and safety was good. We were all beginners or occasional kayakers and we managed fine. Sea kayaks more comfortable than other kayaks we have rented.
Stopped half way on a beach for a swim / snorkel. Company provided lots of water and a roll / bagette for lunch. A beautiful experience.
Thank you Odyssey.

Must do
Had a fantastic 5 days kayaking on and off during our 10days we got to explore lots of secret beaches and almost 100% of Ithaca’s coast line. Vaggos was a fantastic guide. Really enjoyed his company and knowledge of Ithaca! Fully recommend doing this.
One night w camped out on a remote beach and watched the blood moon eclipse, it was beautiful.
Take a hat and sun cream!
