Did you knew that Ancient Ithaca is... not the modern one?
Historics says, it's probably Kefalonia (or Leukada?)...
In Homer's "Odyssey", there are LOTS of landscape discriptions, NONE of them even close to modern Ithaca; but! In Kefalonia (or - again - Leucada), THERE ARE some VERY-VERY ALIKE landscapes and LANDMARKS, as Homer said!...
Anyway... But to topic, to say... damn, I'm NOT THAT good Net-researcher!
(BTW, off topic - fellow, HOW FAR - in airplane's hours - is Australia from Greece and HOW LONG is New Zeeland from Australia?... One of my FEVORITE place to visit, is New Zeeland - when I saw the ORIGINAL landscape from "Lord of the Rings" DVDs special features, I was shocked!)
