Introducing Ithaki
Diminutive Ithaki is the diamond of the Ionians. It is believed to be the mythical home of Homer’s Odysseus, where his loyal wife Penelope patiently awaited his homecoming. This tranquil island is two large peninsulas – joined by a narrow isthmus – with sheer cliffs, precipitous mountainous passages and pockets of cypresses and olive groves. Nestled around this compact gem are beautiful fishing hamlets (tastefully rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake) and discreet pebbly coves. Monasteries and churches offer Byzantine delights and splendid views. The locals here are rightfully proud of their island.
