The Colorful Houses of Vathy Waterfront

Picturesque waterfront of Vathy, capital of Ithaca, with its characteristic neoclassical houses in pastel colors reflecting in the calm waters of the natural harbor. Facades in pink, ochre, light blue and white create an architectural rainbow typical of the Ionian Islands, legacy of Venetian rule. Green hills provide a backdrop to this seaside village maintaining intact the charm of traditional Greek villages. Vathy developed around the deepest harbor in Greece, protected by surrounding mountains.
