Is the Homer / Odyssey heritage relevant for cultural-yachting?+
Yes. Ithaca is the home island of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey — the centre of Greek mythology's most famous nostos (homecoming) narrative.

Combined with the dramatic protected Vathy bay, Ithaca offers a distinctive natural-cultural yachting stop.
