Not sure if you are referring to Ithaca as in back then, when Odysseus was there…or now a days. So, here are a few things that are from then, and now…places that are still around that would be fun to visit.

There is the fountain of Arethousa, in the south part of the island. This is where Arethousa cried so much because her son Corax was killed, that she turned into a spring. That spring is where Eumaeus brought his pigs to drink…and where Odysseus went to meet him disguised as a beggar after receiving directions from the goddess Athena, on his return to Ithaca.

Then there is Marmarospilia (the Cave of the Nymphs), where Odysseus hid the gifts of gold (the gifts of King Alcinous). The Cave has a hole in the roof, the entrance of the gods, which permitted the smoke of the sacrifices to rise to heaven.

There is the field of Laertes…the place where Odysseus encountered his father after killing the suitors.
