"You must always keep Ithaca in mind - reaching it should be your constant thought. Above all, do not rush the journey; let it last a long time, for years, and let you set foot on the island as an old man, rich with treasures accumulated along the way without expecting riches. [...] And if you find it poor, Ithaca will not have disappointed you for this. By now wise, with all your experience on your back, you will have already understood what Ithaca means". Perhaps you have already read the verses of this wonderful poem in one of the many blogs dedicated to Greece. The journey to Ithaca recounted by Cavafis is not only a metaphor for the meaning of life but is also a description of Ithaca that can be fully understood only once you have landed on this piece of land as enchanting as the song of the sirens. Ithaca is the destination for those seeking themselves, the remote corner where they can reflect on their experiences, reorder their thoughts and refresh themselves before resuming their journey. We recommend spending at least 3 or 4 days on the island to explore and savor it at a slow pace as it deserves but, if you want to visit it in a day, there is the possibility of taking a day tour departing from Kefalonia. It will be enough to enchant you and make you want to return as soon as possible, just like Ulysses.
