Vassiliki to Frikes is the direct link from southern Lefkada down to the northeast corner of Ithaki, an hour at sea with Ionion P. Lines. It is a useful crossing for island-hoppers working their way south through the Ionian without going back to the mainland. The bay at Vassiliki is well sheltered, though the afternoon thermal winds that make it a windsurfing centre can put a bit of movement into the water outside it.

Frikes is a small fishing harbour on Ithaki's northeast coast, low-key and unhurried, with tavernas along the quay and stone houses backed by terraced hillsides. It is the smallest of the island's three ferry-served ports, the others being Vathy and Pissaetos. Kioni is close by and makes an easy first stop.

The service runs about once a day in season and stops outside it, so it is worth checking the current timetable and fares shown below before you build a route around it. From Frikes you can pick up the connection on to Fiskardo on Kefallonia. Vassiliki also serves Fiskardo directly if Ithaki is not on your list.

Tips for the Vassiliki to Frikes ferry

  • The ferry approach into a Greek island harbour is often the most beautiful part of the journey – get onto the bow deck 15–20 minutes before arrival.
  • Summer heat makes sun-exposed upper decks very intense between 11:00 and 16:00; bring sunscreen with a high SPF and a hat even for short crossings.
  • Save your e-ticket to your phone's offline storage or take a screenshot before you reach the port, as mobile data can be patchy at the quayside.
