Why Ithaca

Luxury accommodations for business travellers who like to experience the journey without losing the feeling of home

 

Whether it was Odysseus on his long journey back home or in Constantine Cavafis’ famous poem, Ithaca has served throughout history as a symbolic destination for all travellers, especially those travelling for long periods away from home. Ithaca of course is not just a long voyage but is a metaphor for the journey of life, our self-discovery and our goals.  We are all travellers in the great journey called life and in our quest for self-discovery and achieving our life goals, in the end we can only hope to have gained wisdom and experience, regardless of the result

 

Pray that the road is long.
That the summer mornings are many, when,
with such pleasure, with such joy
you will enter ports seen for the first time;
stop at Phoenician markets,
and purchase fine merchandise,
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
and sensual perfumes of all kinds,
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
visit many Egyptian cities,
to learn and learn from scholars.  

In your journey to Ithaca and in your many travels we hope that each destination you visit and regardless of how many times you visited it before, brings you pleasure and joy and the opportunity to learn and enjoy each experience as new.  We hope your Odyssey is not as perilous as that of Odysseus, but certainly as adventurous.  And when the Cyclops, Scyllas and Laestrygones wear you down and you need a quiet place to drop your anchor, let us be your safe haven on the way to Ithaca.
