Greek island in the Ionian Sea
About Ithaca (Greece)
Ithaca is one of the smaller Ionian Islands in western Greece. The island is 23 km long, 6 km wide, has an area of 98 km² and approximately 5,000 inhabitants. It is separated from the neighboring island of Kefalonia in the west by a 2 to 4 km wide strait. The rocky island is separated by the bay of Molo, from which two further bays, the bay of Vathy and the bay of Schino, separate into two roughly equal parts, which are connected by the 600 meter wide isthmus of Aetos (eagle). The highest elevation in the southern part is the Merovigli (671 m), in the northern part the Anoi (808 m). The west side of the island is not very structured, only the east side has several deep bays. The main town of Vathy has one of the largest natural harbors in the world.
