Greek Ithaca island hopes for big tourism boost thanks to Odyssey movie

Greece's most famous islands have spent this year fighting to keep tourists out... with Santorini and Mykonos now capping cruise arrivals and charging steep entry fees just to manage the crowds. But on one small island, they're hoping for the opposite problem.

Story by Camille Knight.
