Vathy

Vathy lies along the sheltered Bay of Vathy on Ithaca’s eastern coast, where steep, olive-covered hills descend towards the Ionian Sea. The town is Ithaca’s main port and administrative centre, gathered around a long natural harbour with the small islet of Lazaretto near its entrance. Ithaca has been traditionally linked with the Homeric home of Odysseus, an association that remains central to the island’s identity. Vathy’s Archaeological Museum presents finds from the island, while the waterfront connects cafés, boats and everyday island life.
