Ithaca is known for its rugged landscape, with its highest peak being Mt. Neritos at 806 meters. The island is covered with thick forests, olive groves, and vineyards. There are also several small fishing villages and a few small towns along the coast.
Ithaca is mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, as the home of Odysseus. It is believed to have been inhabited since the Bronze Age, and was an important port for the ancient Greeks. It was also an important naval base during the Byzantine period, and was the center of the Venetian Ionian Islands.
The island was occupied by the British during the Napoleonic Wars, and was later ceded to Greece in 1864. Ithaca has since developed a strong tourist industry, and is a popular destination for visitors from all over the world.
