1Ithaca – Authentic and Understated
Ithaca, legendary home of Odysseus, remains one of the Ionian Islands’ hidden treasures. It’s smaller and less developed than many of its neighbors, which gives it an authentic charm.
The island’s capital, Vathy, is built around a natural bay and feels peaceful and welcoming. Beaches are often small and secluded, with incredibly clear water.
Ithaca suits first-time visitors who want a quieter, more traditional Greek atmosphere. It may require a ferry connection, but the reward is a genuine and uncrowded island experience.
