On the cover we are featuring the movie 'The Return' directed by Uberto Pasolini, staring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche.

On this episode, George and Maria talk about Homer’s Odyssey - one of the greatest adventure stories ever told!

Tune in to learn about Homers Odyssey and the story of homecoming, the truths and myths of the Odyssey, how it has inspired countless films and adaptations across the world and about the mythical destination of Ithaki today.

Ithaki is also one of our top destinations for 2025, so make sure to also listen to our episode Top Islands for 2025.

The poem Maria recited at the beginning of the episode is Ithaki by Constantine Kafafys. To read the full poem in English click here.
