Exoghi, meaning "Out land", is only 2km from Platrithias and a total distance of 20km. from Vathy.

During the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Venetian period, it was one of the main habitations of the island, granting safety from the pirates, a very good view of the channel, the sea, and the bays around the northern part of Ithaca.

Following the effacing of the pirates in the 16th century, part of the population moved closer to the coasts forming the villages of Stavros and Platrithias.

The village remained crowded especially during the English rule, having a population of well over 1,300 people, with their main means of living being cultivation, stock-breeding, technical jobs, and some trade. In the first years of this century many of the inhabitants began to immigrate, preferring Australia, decreasing the population of the village from 500 in the 1900's to only 50 old people today.

Excavations at the east side of Exoghi, towards Platrithias, discovered that the area was full of ancient and Byzantine ruins of buildings and wells, also interesting objects, tools and coins from different periods uncovered.

At the top of the village a dirt road leads up to mountain's top at a site called Pernarakia, end in the uninhabited monastery of Panaghia (Holy Virgin) which was operating until the last World War.

The aerial view from this point is unforgettable. It over looks Northern Ithaca, the sea around the land, island of Cephallonia, and even as far as the islands of Levkas, Zante, and the western mainland coast of Greece.

In Exoghi there are only a few rooms to rent and a coffee house for refreshments. The church of Agia Marina celebrates on the 17th of July with a festivity of live music and dance taking place in the square of beautiful village.
