Reaching the island of Ithaca implies a mythical journey. Here Homer, author of the Odyssey, crowned Ulysses as king returning after years of exile. If you choose it as your destination, do not forget to pack this splendid Greek epic poem, dating from the 8th century B.C. Ithaca can only be accessed from the neighboring Ionian Islands, the archipelago to which it belongs. And getting here is part of the adventure of exploring Ithaca.
With steep and forested landscape inland, you will enjoy the authenticity walking through rural roads, among olive trees, vineyards and pine forests. And on the coast, its beaches ensure the immense peace of the less frequented places. Still, a true paradise.

The capital Vathy is sheltered in a large bay which can be reached through a narrow arm of the sea. The houses of this fishing village, where simplicity reigns, unfold along the side of the mountain facing one of the largest natural harbors in Europe.
With the shape of a figure eight, the island is practically divided into two areas joined by a narrow passage of land. So there is an Ithaca of the north and of the south, the latter is more folkloric. Among the best beaches are Dexa (where Ulysses landed after his odyssey), and the most hidden Asphales, embraced by imposing cliffs and forests. If you go up to the Monastery of the Virgin Kathariotissa, you will enjoy a wonderful panorama. |
