At the narrowest point of Ithaca, where the Ionian Sea meets the mountains of Kefalonia, one of the island’s historic landmarks has been brought back to life. Aeolia Ithaca rises from the revival of the old inn, reimagined as a destination where gastronomy, atmosphere, nature, and culture blend seamlessly into an authentic island experience.

From early morning coffee and breakfast served from 08:30 to the golden sunset melting behind Kefalonia, Aeolia offers far more than a typical restaurant or bar. The bar overlooks the fading colours of the Ionian, while the restaurant sits high above the bay of Aetos, offering one of the most spectacular panoramic views in Ithaca.

The cuisine at Aeolia is centred around fire, quality ingredients, and the richness of local flavour. Wood-fired dishes, selected “Ithaca’s Poem” cheeses, locally sourced goat, lamb, and mature sheep, prosciutto from Evrytania, Kefalonian feta, alongside carefully crafted vegetarian and vegan options, come together in a menu that honours the culinary traditions of the Ionian Islands through a refined contemporary approach.

At the bar, the signature “Chani Bunny” cocktail — a refreshing mix of rum, lime, falernum, and passion fruit — captures the effortless spirit of an Ithacan summer in every sip.

As the sun sets, Aeolia transforms once again. Open-air cinema nights beneath the stars, the Ionian breeze, and the atmosphere of a place suspended between sea and sky create an experience that stays with you long after the evening ends.

With easy access and a future wellness space already in development, Aeolia Ithaca is more than a new arrival on the island. It is the revival of a historic Ithacan landmark, reintroduced through a modern experience designed to be unforgettable.
