On Greece's western coast, the small island of Ithaca avoids mass tourism.
Female: Want crystal clear waters, endless blue skies, and uncrowded relaxation? Then travel to Ithaca, Greece, the island homer wrote about in the odyssey. Ithaca is on the western coast of Greece, one of the smallest of 6 Ionian Islands. Travelers can drive from Athens to Patras, a 3 hour journey. From there, it’s a short ferry ride to Ithaca. The water alone is worth the journey. McKenzie: It’s calmer. Everywhere else I go there's huge wave that will suck me under. Female: The calm waters of Ithaca make the paddle boat a preferred mode of transportation. And for those craving a bit more action on the water, sailboats offer day trips around the island. Anchor in hidden coves and snorkel exploring starfish, crabs and swarms of fish. And if you don’t see an octopus, you might see one for lunch or dinner. Either way, the food, the clear water, and the relaxation make Ithaca a must visit.
