Activity Description

We start the walk at the viewpoint above Polis Bay and we talk about Polis Cave and the important artifacts that the archeologists found during the excavations there. Then we will visit the scale model of Odysseus Palace at the main square of Stavros village, designed by the Italian architect Bruno Mazzali and his ancient Greek nautical exhibition. Then we head to the archeological museum of Stavros village and right after to Homer's School, where Odysseus Palace is located. We have the option at the middle or at the end of the tour to enjoy a coffee or a snack at the local cafes or restaurants.

Our hiking guide is always knowledgeable and he will give you a detailed tour. He will provide scientific information about the whole area and he will explain how modern Ithaca is related to the Homeric Ithaca and why it is considered as the same place.
