Useful Resources for Your Greek Island Trip

The last known sailing on this route was on 22 September 2026.

No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

Historically, this route ran about 1 sailings a day in August 2026, about 0.7 sailings a day in September 2026.

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.
