Images of Ithaca







Breathtaking scenery greets you at every turn!

Ithacan Reflections






The sea like a mirror produced wonderful reflections of the beauty and wildness of the island

Ithacan Sunrise




A pleasure to get up early and watch the sunrise on our beautiful Ithaca

Ithacan Creepy Crawlies






Lots of weird and wonderful insects, orb spiders, hairy caterpillars(havent had chance to ID!) and huge centipedes, very scary creatures as they are poisonous and apparently have a very painful and nasty bite, not the sort of creature you take you eyes off, wouldnt want one of them up your trouser leg!!!
