In one of the most beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea, Ithaca and specifically above the Homer harbor of Forkynos, the apartments of FORKIS are located. The view is spectacular as it overlooks the picturesque bay of Dexion, with direct access to the beach, embraced by lush green olive grove that reaches the sea. The beach has sunbeds and snack-bar, where you can find everything you need to make your stay even better. It must be noted that the public areas are available to guests in order to enjoy relaxing moments.
Ithaca is the homeland of the Homeric hero Odysseus, a legend, history and a reference point of intellectuals. It is the homeland of Lorenzo Mavilis, an island that combines mountain and sea and is ideal for relaxing holidays ...
