Ithaki
Α few words about Ithaki
Ithaki, this little Ionian Island, is as much connected to our ancient tradition and the well-known Odysseus (Ulysses) as with many symbolisms of nostalgia, knowledge and love of the homeland.
Ithaki is visited by only a few but sensitive, visitors who search for rest and relaxation, a form of alternative tourism.One finds with joy that the island has resisted extreme tourist development and keeps its authentic traditional colour completely.
Beaches
