Island Guide | Ithaca

Ithaca or Ithaka(Greek: Ιθάκη, Ithakē) is an island located in the Ionian Sea, in Greece, with an area of 45 square miles and a little more than three thousand inhabitants. It is an independent municipality of the Kefallinia Prefecture, and lies off the northeast coast of Kefalonia. The municipality of Ithaca includes some smaller islands as well. The capital, Itháki (Vathý), has one of the world's largest natural harbours. Modern Ithaca is generally identified with Homer's Ithaca, the home of Odysseus, whose delayed return to the island is the subject of the Odyssey.

The island has been inhabited since the 2nd millennium BC. It was the capital of Cephalonia during the Mycenaean period. The Romans occupied the island Periphery: Ionian Islands
Prefecture: Kefallinia Prefecture
Capital: Vathy
Population: 3,084
Postal: 283 00, 283 01
Telephone: 26740
in the 2nd century BC, and later it became part of the Byzantine Empire. The Normans ruled Ithaca in the 12th and 13th century, and after a short Turkish rule it fell into Venetian hands.

Ithaca was then occupied by France under the 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio. It was liberated by a joint Russo-Turkish force in 1798, before becoming part of the Septinsular Republic. It became a French possession again in 1807, until it was liberated by the United Kingdom in 1809. Under the 1815 Treaty of Paris, Ithaca became a state of the United States of the Ionian Islands, an amical protectorate of the United Kingdom. Under the 1864 Treaty of London, Ithaca, along with the islands, were ceded to Greece as a mark of cordiality with Greece's new king, the Anglophile George I.

Many structures were destroyed in an earthquake in 1953. In the 1970s, Kalamos split from the province and became part of the prefecture of Lefkada, and the province of Ithaca became a non-provincial municipality.

There is also a strait situated in the western part of the island called the Strait of Ithaca. The capes in the island include Exogi, the westernmost but not in land, Melissa to the north, Mavronos and Agios Ilias to the east, Schinous, Sarakiniko and Agios Ioannis, the easternmost to the east and Agiou Andreou, the southernmost in the south. Bays include Afales Bay to the northwest, Frikes and Kioni Bays to the northeast and Ormos Gulf and Sarakiniko Bay to the southeast. The tallest mountain is Nirito (806 m), the second tallest is Merovigli (669 m).

Lazaretto Islet (or Island of The Saviour) guards the harbor. The church of The Saviour and the remains of an old gaol sit on the island.

Administration

Ithaca is a separate peripheral unit of the Ionian Islands Periphery, and the only municipality of the peripheral unit. As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the peripheral unit Ithaca was created out of the former Kefalonia and Ithaca Prefecture. The municipality, unchanged at the Kallikratis reform, includes islets other than Ithaca including two near Cape Melissa, Arkoudi and Atokos to the northeast and the numerous islets in the Echinades Island group (the larger ones being Drakonera, Makri, Oxeia, Petalas, and Vromonas) to the east near the mainland of Aitoloakarnania. Its largest towns are Itháki (pop. 1,816), Perachóri (354), Stavrós (325), Platreithiá (210), and Kióni (171). Communities and villages: Aetos, Afales, Agios Ioannis, Agia Saranta, Anogi, Exogi, Frikes, Kalivia, Kathara, Kioni, Kolieri, Lachos, Lefki, Marmaka, Perachori, Piso Aetos, Platrithia, Rachi, Stavros, Vathy/Ithaki.

  • Penthouse with sea view and pool in Voula Attica for sale

    Category: Apartments - Real Estate for sale
    Location: Attica
    City: Voula

    Luxury Penthouse apartment in Voula Exochi on the 3rd floor with panoramic sea view and swimming pool. The apartment is 147 sqm and offers an open plan living room with 2 bedroom (1 master with walk in closet and jacuzzy), 2 bath rooms, 1 WC, 2 storages of 20m2 and a garage for 2 cars.

    The apartment is currently rented for 2000 €.

    In a privileged 1000 sq. m. plot, in Exochi, Voula, Attica, 36 Papanikoli Str., this building has a basement, ground floor and three superstructure floors.

    The building’s placement on the North-South axis has provided it with an ideal direction for the residences’ ventilation and sun exposure. The manipulations made on the geometry, for the final formation of the building’s main body, have given it a modern, austere form – minimal and at the same time very interesting, in relation to the other building environment.
    The materials chosen to build the sides as well as the architectural projections from concave aluminium elements with electrostatic dye and the transparent, lightly painted balcony breast walls, highlight the building’s body and at the same time retain the sides’ lightness and clarity, as well as the transparency, from the interior to the view and vegetation. In the basement, with easy access across the building’s eastern side, there are closed car parking lots – two per residence, warehouses and auxiliary premises. Each of the four floor apartments with 180 sq. m. area, consisting of four bedrooms – one of which is the master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom – kitchen, additional bathroom, guests’ WC and comfortable reception areas, have large openings and unlimited view to the sea.
    The apartments’ interior features luxurious materials, such as solid oak floors in the entire apartment, marble lining in the fireplaces, doors, closets and kitchen furniture imported by Italian companies, with top quality tiles of large dimensions, giving exceptional aesthetics to the bathrooms. The balconies, staircases and all free transition areas were lined with Pendeli marble.
    The design of the entrance and the special configuration of the surrounding area, with movement in different levels through rich vegetation, form the entrance to the pool area, highlighting the value of the outdoors route in the building’s internal perimeter. The pool in the green southwestern side of the plot, which offers privacy, completes this aesthetically and operationally upgraded solution, which offers high living conditions for the owners of its residences.
