The island of Ithaca is worldwide famous as the home of Odysseus and it symbolises the return to the haven, the discovery and the fulfillment.

Even though it is very close to Kefalonia, Ithaca is a much more peaceful and quiet destination and is not spoilt by mass tourism, whereas its picturesque villages will welcome every guest with a unique way.
