The Most Literary Island in the World
Ithaca, tiny (117 square kilometres), sparsely populated, profoundly beautiful, is where Odysseus ruled and to which he spent twenty years trying to return. The island's relationship with the Odyssey is organic, not touristic: the School of Homer, the Cave of the Nymphs, the spring of Arethusa, the hill of Hermes, these are genuine archaeological sites, not theme park reconstructions.
FFGR Greece Ithaca Programme
FFGR Greece deploys a small, agile vehicle (Mercedes GLE or Land Rover Defender) appropriate to Ithaca's narrow mountain roads. The half-day circuit: Vathy harbour and Folklore Museum, the ancient wells, the Kathara Monastery with its 17th-century icon, the School of Homer archaeological site, and a late lunch at a harbour taverna watching the sailing boats come in.
Ithaca as a Day Trip from Kefalonia
A private boat from Fiskardo (northern Kefalonia) to Kioni (northern Ithaca) takes 20 minutes. FFGR Greece can coordinate both legs, making Ithaca a seamless day extension from any Kefalonia base.
