Vathy, the capital port of Ithaca, has a beautiful horseshoe waterfront of houses overlooking a magnificent bay, flanked by green hillsides. The port and narrow backstreets have a good selection of shops, tavernas and bars and boat hire is available to visit nearby beaches. South of Vathy, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, lie the remains of the small medieval town of Paleochora.
An island to discover...
Probably the most legendary of all Greek islands, Ithaca is strangely one of the least known.
