Ithaca, the island of Odysseus, gets its Hollywood moment

The Greek island of Ithaca anticipates increased tourism following the release of the "Odyssey" film. Businesses and officials expect many visitors to follow the epic poem's inspiration. While the movie generated publicity, no scenes were filmed on the island itself. Visitors will find Homeric monuments and literary heritage points of interest. The island's natural beauty and mythological connections draw interest beyond typical beach destinations.
