Ithaca

“As you set out on the way to Ithaca, hope that the road is a long one,” wrote Constantine Cavafy, a famous Greek poet.

Mythical and immortal, a symbol of quests and adventure, Ithaca is a magical island and was the main source of inspiration for Homer’s legendary Odyssey. The ultimate aim of many sailors, Ulysses’ island offers unusual landscapes with a harmonious mixture of wooded mountains, white-sand beaches, traditional villages and archaeological monuments. When your ship calls here, discover the island’s many landmarks such as the ancient ruins of Stavros, and try to solve the mysteries of one of the world’s most told stories.
