KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vathy

  • Booking car hire in Vathy will give you free rein to visit the town's attractions and those further afield on the Greek island of Ithaca. The town of Stavros has a museum with Mycenean period relics, reputed to be associated with the mythical King Odysseus. There's also Kioni, known as the prettiest town on the island, with its old stone houses and olive trees. While public transport is available, the schedules are infrequent and routes don't necessarily go where you’ll require. Hiring a car makes good sense, allowing you to drive to wherever you want.
  • Ithaca Island doesn't have its own airport, so you'll usually land first at Kefalonia International Airport Anna Pollatou (EFL), on the neighbouring island of Kefalonia. You can arrange for car hire in Vathy from here, and drive onto the ferry that will take you to Ithaca Island. You'll find a handful of international car hire agencies in the airport terminal building. It's a small space, so they're not hard to spot.
  • This is a quiet, serene old town, so if you choose car hire in Vathy, you'll find the driving to be at a nice sedate pace. You can relax and enjoy your visit without encountering any heavy traffic congestion. Many of the locals walk around the town, so drive carefully in the downtown district and give them the right of way. Most of the nearby beaches are easily accessible by road, and it will only take you about an hour to traverse the island. The roads are generally in good condition.
  • While congestion won't present a problem when you're driving in Vathy, there are some other mild hazards to contend with on the roads outside the town. Ithaca is a mountainous island, so if you're taking a road trip, the roads between towns can be quite steep and winding. Approach hairpin bends with extreme caution, to avoid suddenly being confronted by a tour bus trying to slowly negotiate the turn. Also watch out for sheep and goats, as well as rocks that may be left over from a rockfall.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Vathy?

    You have plenty of Vathy car hire options, as many types of vehicles are suitable to drive in the town. Having said that, it's always best to hire something small and practical when staying in small towns like this, first, because the streets are somewhat narrow and second, due to the number of pedestrians. There's no need to go roaring around in a sports car; rather get a compact city car or hatchback, or try a sedan if there are more of you. While a 4WD will certainly do you well on twisty mountain roads, it's not necessary; the good road surfaces provide all the traction you need.

  • What's the speed limit in Vathy?

    The speed limits in Vathy and on the rest of Ithaca Island are the same as in mainland Greece. In the town's central district and other built-up or residential areas, the speed limit is 50 km/h (about 30 mph). Outside of these urban areas, you can travel at up to 90 km/h (about 55 mph). If you're on an expressway, the limit is 110 km/h (about 70 mph), while on the main motorways, you can drive at up to 130 km/h (about 80 mph). There isn't a large police presence, but don't let that lull you into speeding. If you go above the limit, you'll incur a hefty fine and possibly a driving ban.

  • Where are the best places to park in Vathy?

    The free parking in Vathy is predominantly in the car parks of the various hotels and resorts. Being a small town, you can often leave your car at your hotel and walk to your destination. It's also typically free to park at the town's beaches. Street parking is also not hard to come by, as this is one of the less-visited islands in Greece.
