Vathy Harbor Seen from the Sea

Splendid view of Vathy harbor from the sea approach, just as Odysseus would have seen his homeland upon returning from his long journey. Houses with terracotta roofs climb the green hills while a white sailboat sails the deep blue waters of the harbor. The natural amphitheater formed by mountains protects this safe anchorage from winds, making it one of the most sheltered ports in the Mediterranean. Ithaca authentic and relaxed atmosphere welcomes modern visitors as it welcomed its hero millennia ago.
