Frikes

Frikes is a seaside village on the eastern coast of Ithaki.

The village which, according to certain writers, identifies with Rithro port, mentioned by Homer, is related to Greece's recent history since it was here on 13th September 1944 where local members of the resistance with very few weapons succeeded in seizing the german warship "Antuanetta" and capturing its crew.

Among the village'e sights you can see two well-preserved windmills on both sides of the port and visit the handicraft workshop "ELPINOR" which is also open as an exhibition centre.
