About the Route

Odysseus' journey spans much of the Mediterranean, from Troy (in modern Turkey) to the remote island of Ogygia in the far west, then back to his homeland of Ithaca in the Ionian Sea. Location identifications are based on ancient traditions and modern scholarship, though many sites remain subject to debate.

The total route covers thousands of nautical miles and represents ten years of travel, storms, divine encounters, and adventures across a world that blends real geography with mythological landscapes.
