West of the Pass
So far we've been able to spot the cave of the Naiads east of the pass, the harbour of Phorkys north of the pass and to the west side of the pass we could clearly see Neriton. I think by now it's safe to say Odysseus could have done the same in order to finally recognise his island Ithaca, so we really have walked in Odysseus' footsteps!
The only thing still missing is the location of the olive tree, which must also be visible from up here. We can only assume to Odysseus it would've been instantly clear, but for us it remained a mystery. Who in their right mind would use an olive tree as a waypoint on an island full of them, any way?
We looked everywhere for the location of the olive tree, both around Poros and over the rim down to Rouda Bay, without success. Till we had a what you might call 'Athena' moment.
