2. Ithaca
As the mythical birthplace of Homer’s Odysseus, Ithaca has a claim on history buffs and literature lovers alike. Ithaca is home to Bronze Age settlements as well as stunning beaches like Gedaki Beach and Filiatro Beach. With its maritime and folk museums, the island’s capital of Vathy is also an enriching place to spend time. Ithaca’s coast is so lovely that you may just want to sip delicious Greek wine at a coastal cafĂ© and enjoy the spectacular views.
