The boat that welcomes you to Homeric Poems is a much-photographed “landmark” of Santorini, echoing memories from our family's naval past. Owned by our great-grandfather, this vessel was the first ever to be registered on the island’s modern records.

The story begins: “Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end”
About
Our logo alludes to a delicate scene from the Odyssey depicting a rosette in a repeating pattern. It was inspired by Nafsica, whom Odysseus likens to a slender palm sapling in motion. “Good is the luck of your father and your respected mother; their souls will be delighted because of you– such a slender, young palm tree for them to gaze at as it enters the dance”.
