& @diokaminaris present the ORIGINAL SHOT (VIDEO) of July 29, 2022 🗺 HOME OF ODYSSEUS! Famous all over the world as the home place of Odysseus, the mythical hero of Homer, Ithaca is an iconic island. But Ithaka is so much more than that! If there was a home of Greek mythology, it’d be Ithaca. Perhaps the most famous of all Greek heroes, Odysseus of Homer’s epic Greek poem The Odyssey, one of the Best-selling books in the world, is from Ithaca. In fact, he was the island’s rightful ruler. This is where he set sail to Troy before that Trojan horse plan, not to mention where his loyal lady Penelope waited 20 years for his return while he searched for home amidst difficulties involving sirens, a cyclops and the Underworld. It’s believed Odysseus landed on Dexa Beach (don’t miss visiting this gorgeous cove) on his return. Beautiful, green Ithaca carries its mythical history in its magical landscape and charming atmosphere. The waters on Ithaca’s coastlines sparkle a breathtaking emerald, and the bays and beaches are lined with luscious greenery or dramatic hills. Hire a car, bicycle or scooter, and carefully drive your way around the island to sample every kind of beachy delight, from cliffside Gidaki or Skinos Bay, where cypress trees line up to provide shade. Filiatro Beach, with its sunbeds, umbrellas and beachside tavernas, is ideal for a post-swim gyros. Filiatro Beach is 3km (2mi) from the capital Vathy, and its lovely waters are shallow and crystal clear, so it’s perfect for families seeking a relaxed day out.
