And if it really was Ithaca? In fact that is exactly what it appears to be, judging by what is in the Odyssey: that strange character Ulysses, who took a good 10 years to get back home after a bloody adventure and an amorous intrigue, knew exactly where his island was, even giving a clear location, or at least this is what Homer leads us to believe. What is incredible is that the Greek hero managed to stay away so long from this dolomite marina, with its walls of emerald green that reflect in the clearest waters full of marine life, its verdant coves whose cobblestones resounding with each backwash are far more intriguing than the song of the sirens, and the small village nestled at the foot of mount Falcone that is a refuge scented with thyme and salt whose embrace is impossible to let go of.
