Konstantinos Karavias Pharmacy is one of Ithaca’s long-established pharmacies, with a history dating back to August 1947 and a legacy that continues today through the third generation of pharmacists.

Its story began with pharmacist Eleftherios Karavias, who carried on the pharmacy established by Thrasyvoulos Mavrokefalos, laying the foundations of a family tradition built on professional expertise, responsibility and a strong personal connection with the people it serves. Even after the devastating 1953 Ionian earthquakes, which destroyed the pharmacy building, the business continued to operate, a testament to its resilience and enduring place within the local community.

Today, Konstantinos Karavias Pharmacy combines almost eight decades of experience with modern pharmaceutical care, offering a carefully selected range of medicines and healthcare products, personal care essentials, health and wellbeing products, as well as practical solutions for the everyday needs of both residents and visitors.

What truly sets the pharmacy apart is its personal approach to service. With professional knowledge, attention to detail and genuine care for every individual, the team places particular emphasis on clear information and personalised guidance, creating an environment where customers feel listened to, understood and well looked after.

For visitors to Ithaca, the pharmacy is a trusted local destination for medicines, first-aid essentials, sun protection, skincare, personal care and everyday health needs, backed by generations of experience. For the island’s residents, it remains a familiar and dependable presence, one that has earned the community’s trust through decades of consistency, professionalism and dedicated service.
