00:00Ithaca in the Ionian Sea, off the western coast of mainland Greece, lies far from the country's
00:05most popular tourist destinations.
00:07Despite its crystal clear waters and stunning coves, it has never been among Greece's established
00:12tourist hotspots.
00:13Now however, following Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, fans of Homer and Odysseus are adding
00:17Ithaca to their travel itineraries.
00:20I studied Greek when I was a child and I studied The Odyssey, I like Odysseus and
00:28and this is my dream.
00:32The mayor of Ithaca expects tourism to increase following the Hollywood film, although he
00:36says the full impact will become clear during the next tourist season.
00:41There is no big visibility on the island because of the film.
00:45This programme will come from the time where the film will play slowly in the world and
00:52so they will go to the destination to come to the island.
00:55The local business owners, however, are already seeing signs that the island is gaining international
01:00recognition following the film's release.
01:04I am already with the tourists who have been talking about this project, that something will
01:09happen.
01:10And this has already, even though it has not played in all the cinema, it has started with
01:16a recognition and a recognition of the world based on this.
01:20The souvenir shop owners have known for years what draws many visitors to Ithaca, none other
01:25than Homer and the Odyssey.
01:27They come because they know about Odysseus and Omyr, which wrote in Odysseus, and I think
01:37that this is a lot more, but it is also a very beautiful village.
01:47I think it is a good way to get more people interested in Homer and in mythology in general, but
01:56it is
01:56definitely not accurate to the original text.
02:02The memorials of the years must remain in the north to the south.
02:08The full time of theやvestis and the original text, from the north to the south to the south,
02:12and the original text to the south, as the north to the north to the south, the olding
02:14and the north to the south to the south.
02:16The original text is inedral hat.
02:20in the first phase, but at the end of the year, the Holland is the only one.
