Oooh, this looks lovely! Ithaka - or Ithaca - is a Greek island in the Ionian sea. To me, the name conjours up Odysseus and mysterious mythological magic, azure waters, dolphins, heat haze and the wonderful, warm people of Greece.

| Vathy |
Ithaka lies off the coast of Kefalonia (which I have visited), covers 45 square miles and has just over 3,000 inhabitants. The capital Vathy - or Ithaki - has one of the world's largest natural harbours.
Doesn't it look wonderful?
If you want to know more about the history of the island, there's a link here:
Ithaka . One day, I hope I'll be leaving a blog post about my first-hand experience of Ithaka - it's definitely on my holiday list!
Anyone been there?

Another gat destination, good choice!
So beautiful... I'd love to go there too. The sea is a fantastic colour!
I really do want to go to Ithaca.
Nice to meet you, and I hope you're enjoying the Challenge!

Hi
What gorgeous photos! I will actually be teaching creative writing this June on the island of Seriphos! Can't wait. I've never been to Greece. I'm over from A to Z (at #622 today) so stop over if you like!
Pretty pictures!
