| The man himself – Odysseus |
This past week on Ithaca has been intense, with eight great walks completed... following in the footsteps of Odysseus... and Homer.
The island, as always it seems, has been filled with magic... from the touristy (yes, there are some tourists!) and boaty bustle of Vathi in the south to the more rustic and peaceful Stavros, Frikes and Kioni in the north.
There are no cases of covid... yet Ithacans have no problem continuing to wear masks in shops and offices. And why anyone would have to go into quarantine returning from here to the virus-stricken UK is beyond me. The other way round would make more sense.
Next stop is Athens for a reunion with archaeologist Andronikos Sakkatos [see this blog, An Odyssey in the Year of the Plague – 13: 29 September - 4 October 2020] to get an update on what the future holds for the site of the Palace of Odysseus.
