This is supposedly the home and kingdom of Odysseus that took him 10 years to get back to after the Trojan War, the subject of Homer's Odyssey.

Polis (Anchorage)
A lovely anchorage with a small fishing harbour. There is a taverna on the shore.
We met a lovely young greek couple from Patras that that were camping on the shore near Loizos cave.
They not only shared their freshly caught fish with us, but the next morning at 0600 they met us at the harbour and taught us how to catch the fish using very light handlines and tiny hooks baited with doughy mixture of bread, flour, and sardines.

Grumpy Farmer Bay (Anchorage)
Better known as Aghios Nicolas. A nice anchorage, but if you go ashore be careful where you walk, as the local farmer can be a bit grumpy.
We anchored here for lunch and a swim. Some other cruisers went ashore and were yelled at in Greek when they got too close to the farm.
