‘They say people from Ithaca and Cephalonia are all bad and all mad, but I can never remember which is which.’
I didn’t have any trouble with the locals on this tour of the Ionian islands for Conde Nast Traveller. Even in Frikes, a small town on Ithaca that translates as ‘Horrors’, the locals were perfectly lovely. Other villages in Ithaca are much more aptly named, such as Anogi (‘On top of the world’) and Exogi (‘Out of this world’).
