The Odyssey Route
Tuesday 25th August, 2026
Greece’s tourism authorities are turning the renewed interest in Homer’s Odyssey and Christopher Nolan’s film into a travel story. They took journalists to Ithaca, commissioned a major “In the Footsteps of Odysseus” feature and are creating an Odyssey-themed route linking mythological locations with the film’s Greek filming sites.
Why it worked: It hijacked a global film release with a concrete travel product—named route, mapped sites, press trip, fresh booking data—to prove immediacy and scale.
The lesson: Consider piggybacking a blockbuster moment by packaging a named, bookable route and seeding it via an exclusive data-backed press trip.
