Greece will always give you something special — that’s true! One of the most stunning islands in Greece is the Ithaki — the home of the famous Odyssey. Ithaki is the second-smallest of seven main Ionian islands and was located in the northeast coast of Kefalonia. This island promises wonderful adventure for all travelers from Odysseus-themed attractions to astounding vacation rentals. To start your escapade, taking a hike or a walk to Gidaki Beach is a good idea — where you can relax and sip an iced ouzo in a shady square. You can also visit the unpeopled village of Anogi and be amazed to see the Byzantine frescoes. If you feel hungry, worry not, the nearby village of Kioni has a variety of cafes where you can taste Greek delicacies. Finally, if you’re with your honey, the height of Kathara Monastery will be a perfect place to see the magical sunset.
