Bearing the name of Ulysses’ mother –the legendary ingenious hero from Homer’s major epic poem– “Anticlea Residence” is located at 13 Odisseos Street in Vathi, capital of the Ionian island of Ithaca. A beautiful, recently renovated, traditional building of the 1930’s – representative sample of the early 20th century Ionian architectural style and aesthetics – “Anticlea Residence” has been host to numerous eminent cultural and political figures, such as the iconic Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis and the Greek-French philosopher, social theorist and psychoanalyst, Cornelius Castoriadis. Warm and unpretentious, with bright white walls, large blue windows, black iron fences elaborately crafted with intricate patterns and cast iron beds with new anatomic mattresses, the residence exudes grace, intimacy, cleanness and simplicity. These elements are ideally highlighted by the house’s 672 square meter verdant garden filled with trees laden with fruits, gorgeous fragrant blooms, rich green bushes and a whole array of different kinds of wild herbs beautifully arranged in rockeries by the landlady, Mrs Thelxinoe.
