Ithaca is the smallest of the Greek islands of the Ionian Sea, except from Paxoi island, located south of Lefkada and right next to the north part of eastern Kefalonia. Ithaca has a long and narrow shape, while the north part and the south part of Ithaca are connected by a thin strip of land.
Ithaca became famous from Homer, thanks to its resourceful child, Odysseus. For that reason it is known in the whole of Greece as the island of Odysseus. Although there are some doubts, it is commonly accepted that today's Ithaca is actually Homer's Ithaca.
Ithaca is a quiet island filled with green, suitable for tranquility and relaxing time, without being deprived of the nightlife which you will find in Vathy, the capital of Ithaca, and in beautiful Kioni. You will also find several picturesque mountainous villages where tradition and tranquility rule.
