Ithaca or Ithaka (Greek: Ιθάκη, Ithakē) is an island located in the Ionian Sea, in Greece, with an area of 120 square kilometres (46 sq mi) and a little more than three thousand inhabitants. It is also a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands region, and the only municipality of the regional unit. It lies off the northeast coast of Kefalonia and to the west and within sight of continental Greece. The municipality of Ithaca includes some islets as well. The capital, Vathy or Ithaki, has one of the world's largest natural harbours. Modern Ithaca is generally identified with Homer's Ithaca, the home of Odysseus, whose delayed return to the island is one of the elements of the Odyssey's plot.
The island has been inhabited since the 2nd millennium BC. It may have been the capital of Cephalonia during the Mycenaean period, and the capital-state of the kingdom ruled by Odysseus. The Romans occupied the island in the 2nd century BC, and later it became part of the Byzantine Empire. The Normans ruled Ithaca in the 13th century, and after a short Turkish rule, it fell into Venetian hands (Ionian Islands under Venetian rule).
Ithaca was then occupied by France under the 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio. It was liberated by a joint Russo-Turkish force in 1798, before becoming part of the Septinsular Republic. It became a French possession again in 1807, until it was taken over by the United Kingdom in 1809. Under the 1815 Treaty of Paris, Ithaca became a state of the United States of the Ionian Islands, an protectorate of the British Empire. In 1830 the local community requested to join with the rest of the newly restored nation-state of Greece. Under the 1864 Treaty of London, Ithaca, along with the remaining six Ionian islands, were ceded to Greece as a gesture of diplomatic friendship to Greece's new Anglophile king, George I. The U.K. kept its privileged use of the harbour at Corfu.

This is a close up of Ithaca Falls as they come roaring down. This waterfall is 150-feet high and 175-feet wide and is a frothy beauty that is comprised of closely verticle leaps and steep cascades. It is located at the end of a 1-mile gorge at the base of the Portage Escarpment that has a total of six waterfalls. You can see it from your car on Lake Street but if you want a great view, just walk down the very short trail to its base.
Windows overlooking Ann St and the internal light-well are a strong feature of this room and offer plenty of natural light for daytime functions.
You can walk up very close to this waterfall. This is Ithaca Falls, the last of the six waterfalls along the mile-long gorge at the base of the Portage Escarpment. These pulpit falls are closely spaced rapids created by layers of resistant rock. It stands 150-feet-high and is 175-feet-wide. You can actually glimpse this waterfall from your car on Lake Street but if you have the time, walk the short path to its base---it is well worth it, the close up view is wonderful.
