Ithaca, Greece overview
Ithaca represents timeless, quintessential Greece - the Greece of haphazardly painted blue doors and rough walls lost under numerous layers of whitewash, of olive trees weighed down by the burden of their fruit and cocks crowing at dawn. Such stupendous views bring to mind the epic voyage of Odysseus, for Homer described his hero's home as having a view of three seas and you can check for yourself how this description tallies with one of the suggested sites of Odysseus' palace near the central village of Stavros.
