Frikes, Ithaca

Frikes is the most northerly of Odysseus’s legendary Ionian island of Ithaca (or Ithaki) and the relaxed lifestyle of the village revolves around the little harbour which is very popular, and for good reason. The small harbour is very picturesque and despite the amount of visitors it can often attract, it still manages to retain its typical Greek charm. From the bay you can cast your eyes over the houses that are built into the valley, leading up the traditional Greek windmills that stand on the top of the village, overlooking the harbour.
