Friendly town. Nice restuarants and shopping. Shops stay open until late during the tourist season. Very "walkable". Had a great seafood dinner at Batis on the waterfront. The pastitsio at La Familia is the best I have had.

I have travelled to Vathi and the rest of Ithaki quite a few times. I adore it. Its compact size belies its facilities and sights. Great restaurants too many good ones to single out, lovely beaches, fabulous village living. Wonderful, friendly, hospitable people. You can't go wrong.

Very traditional Greek island, especially the main town with lots of harbourside restaurants. For a small island there is plenty to see from the lovely sleepy villages to the quiet beaches. Definitely need a car to make the most of it loved going high up into the mountains very reasonably priced once there, lovely people.

Really lovely small town centred around the picturesque harbour, very kind and friendly people living an idyllic safe and charmed life in the most beautiful setting in the Ionian. There are no buses on the island so you definitely need to hire a car or scooter if you want to explore the island. Taxi from port to Vathy costs €20.

Very good breakfasts. You can pick out of similar variety of food each morning. And u can also ask kindly personal of the hotel to make scrambled eggs, omelette or bacon on a frying pan. Rooms are good and spacious. Vathy (city and residents) has bit specific atmosphere. For example its kinda difficult to find out how and when certrain shops and restaurants operate. Usualy there were something like breakfast spots, bakeries, coffee shops wich operated more in the morning and restaurants wich often started operating around 17:00 or 18:00. Safe bet is restaurant Kohili. Restaurant Poseidon is more fish oriented. If u are traveling, u can also visit Agori (restaurant) in Frikes (village) or Kanenas (restaurant) in Stavros (village). Those are very good. If u are traveling there for historical sightseeing keep in mind that there is just a little left from so looooong ago. Yet in my mind, its still is unique feeling to walk through Odysseus's former kingdom. Keep in mind that its kinda rocky island. There is little to no sand on beaches. Most of them are with small rocks and pathes of sand, seeweed and bigger rocks. But the water there is beautifully clear. Because of its ,,rocky" character, the seabed is often soon quite steep. And if u rent a car, it could prove quite difficult for begginers to manage driving there. Roads are very narrow, often in not as good shape. There are many crazy steep parts and crazy sharp bends on those roads (often both at the same time.) Many parts of those roads are also situated very high. So if u do not fancy driving on the narrow road often close to the edge of the cliff, u may actually prefer to stay in southern part of an island and enjoy beaches there or choose to rent maybe motorcycle or bike instead of car.

Vathy is a beautiful bay, on a human scale, quiet. It is a beautiful natural harbour and offers a peaceful, good-looking setting. Vathy is a beautiful bay, on a human scale, quiet.
