5Ithaca – The Home of Odysseus

Ithaca is legendary for being the mythical home of Homer’s hero Odysseus, but in reality, it’s also a quiet haven in the Ionian Sea. Often bypassed in favor of nearby Kefalonia, Ithaca remains off the radar for most tourists. 

The island is lush and green, with winding coastal roads, olive groves, and hidden beaches like Gidaki and Filiatro. The port town of Vathy offers quiet waterfront tavernas and a sleepy charm. This is the perfect island for travelers interested in literature, mythology, and solitude.
