Ithaca is one of the Ionian islands in Greece. Ithaca is known to the world as being Ulysses' homeland. Its enchanting coves turn it into paradise on earth despite its small size and mountainous nature.
The visitor can go on excursions to the intensely Ionian traditional seaside villages, and visit the medieval monastery of Taxiarhon and the wonderful caves of the island that are just begging to be explored.
