Ithaca, Greece


View from the north coast of Ithaca towards Lefkada.


I love finding still art such as this. And it's everywhere in Greece.



Would you believe that I took this photo from the front seat of the bus? Take a look at the black sun shade at the top of the photo. And yes, we actually drove past the motorcycle.


Frikes harbour on the north east coast of Ithaca. The ferry sails between here and Vasiliki on Lefkada Island and Fiskardo on Kefallonia Island. During WWII, the Greek resistance fighters sunk a German destroyer off this harbour.

Ithaca, Greece



Very likely the ruins of the palace of Odysseus and Penelope.



The cave has collapsed from all the looting.

My favourite olive tree on Ithaca. It's actually two trees that have intertwined their branches. A great example of an ideal relationship.


Sometimes we even hike...


Suni on Ithaca



Pretty steep going here...

View from the cave. It might actually be fun living here...
