The chief place on the island of Ithaca is the sheltered port of Vathy or Itháki, probably founded by the Romans. It is charmingly situated in a bay - generally accepted as being the cove of Phorkys, in which the Phaeacians put the returning Odysseus ashore ("Odyssey", 13, 96 ff.) - defended by two Venetian forts.
