The Strait of Ithaca (Greek: Στενό Ιθάκης Steno Ithakis) is a strait separating the islands of Kefalonia to the west and Ithaca to the east. The Strait is approximately 20 km long and 4 to 6 km wide. It runs from south to north, starting at Cape Dichalia and Cape Agiou Andreou (northeast of Sami and the Agia Efymia Bay) and up to Capes Viotis and Cape Exogi (north of Fiskardo). The boating route linking the ports of Sami and Fiskardo lies in this strait. The Strait connects to the Ionian Sea on both sides. The Agia Efthymia and Sami Bays lies to the southwest.
