Greece | tourist holiday travel guide
to Ithaca
The
beautiful and calm Ithaca
is famous for being the
homeland of Odysseus (Ulysses), Homer's hero in the
Odyssey, the land where the faithful Penelope waited patiently
during twenty years for her husband to return from the Trojan
War.
Despite his long voyage,
full of adventures, Odysseus managed to return to his beloved
Ithaca, which is, since this
myth, symbolizing the long and difficult
voyage of a life time and the
joys of it, idea which Kavafis, expressed beautifully in his wonderful
poem called Ithaca (Ithaki):
 Make your holidays at
Corfu for 14 nights in Sidari, Corfu - half board
 for only
£345.00 GBP
"When you set out on the voyage to Ithaca Pray that your
journey may be long Full of adventures, full of knowledge"
This
wonderful, verdant island is separated from the
island of Kefalonia by a
narrow canal,
only 3 kilometres wide.
The east coast of the
island is harsh and precipitous, contrasting with the west coast which
is verdant and soft, gently sloping down to the
Ionian Sea. The interior of
the island is quite mountainous,
covered with pine forests, cypresses, olive trees and vineyards.
Enchanting coves are finishing this idyllic landscape, making it a
real paradise on earth.
 
Fortunately,
Ithaca has not yet been
spoiled by mass tourism, mostly because it is an unknown destination and
doesn't fit to the expectations of a lot of people who usually look for
exciting nightlife, large and
crowded sandy beaches, fully
organized with sun beds and umbrellas and tourists everywhere.
Price
£345.00 GBP
The island offers many
things to do such as endless nice walks, visits to the
sleepy picturesque villages
and stopping at the many archaeological
sites associated with Homer's stories.The whole island is full
of magic and beauties, making us understand the great love and pride of
Odysseus for his homeland, a wonderful island fit for the gods
themselves.
