Gulf of Molos - Geographic Heart of Ithaca

Evocative panorama of the Gulf of Molos, the deep inlet that divides Ithaca into two almost equal parts connecting them with a thin isthmus. A small green islet emerges from the calm gulf waters, surrounded by hills covered with Mediterranean scrub typical of the Ionian Islands. This enchanted place is part of the legendary land of Odysseus, the Homeric hero who after twenty years of wandering finally returned to his beloved Ithaca. The wild and pristine landscape maintains intact the mythical atmosphere that inspired the Odyssey.
