Stopped here on a boat trip from Kefalonia, the bay is stunning with a back drop of mountains and a handful of traditional restaurants and a couple of souvenir shops surrounding the waters edge,
Fishing boats bobbed around on the sea and the place was tranquil and beautiful.
Will return!!!

This is a perfect harbour village. Good restaurants on the seafront and genuine Greece if you can be bothered to walk inland where you will be welcomed by orange trees. It would be easy to stay or spend a few hours here. There is also a commemoration of the place where the resistance attacked a German patrol boat. The usual tourist shops are there but not in great quantities. Enjoy the quaintness and peace.

Kioni port is very picturesque.
Few taverns there offer excellent views to the bay and expensive food.
The biggest problem in kioni and almost in whole ithaca is that every kind of " ship" dominate the island . Every beach, every bay , every rock!! has very close to the shore not one but more "ships" , so it isn't so pleasant to swim there. Next to kioni we tried tsirsimidia beach. Not the best beach but at least without tens of sailing boats.

Small harbour on Ithaca. Beautiful setting with wonderful swimming in town. Limited number of places for yachts in harbour.

Such a picturesque little village port in Ithaca. A must for those visiting Odysseus island. Nice restaurants around to have a proper meal or just a coffee.

Loved this harbor. One of the best places I've ever been. Went there in April 2019. A gorgeous cafe. A jewelry store to die for right down the road owned by a very enthusiastic young woman, who spoke to me extensively about her theory that Odysseus' bed was from an olive tree. Was brought here on a tour by Makis of Ithaka Taxi.

KIONI is simply wonderful. It is a little town which is well preserved and elegant. Walking around the harbour and visiting its little but sophisticated jewelers shops and enjoying great food is wonderful.

The most beautiful of the villages in Ithaca approached either by water or small village road. A charming village with traditional houses and small roads and donkey tracks to walk. Small pebble beaches dotted along the coast where local ladies can be seen swimming and chatting in circles once the roast is in the oven. A few local fishing boats are still there also. A handful of travernas and bars to spend the evening in.Perfect place to see the sunrise from every house in the village.
Can be swampted in Summer months by novice yachtsmen moring for the night.

There was Alan a “tripper bost” that came in, but think it probably originated from Vathy which is further Soug.

It looks like a lovely harbour but is it dominated by yachts/flotillas? I just want a quiet holiday reading in the shade, swimming & a couple of tavernas. Don't really want to be surrounded by yachting groups. Thank you.

Yes, there are quite a few yachts here, although it is a quiet place and I am sure there are areas nearby with no yachts.
