"I loved that island home of mine too well,
Too well I loved each cape, each rock, each tree;
Each had become a living nerve of me,
A fibre of my soul, another spell
To fetter me to Ithaca's sweet shore".
From "Odysseus" by Dr. Theodore Stephanides (The Golden Age, Fortune Press, 1965).
I opened the first chapter of my book "The Ionian Islands and Epirus, A Cultural History" (Signal Books, Oxford, 2010; Oxford University Press, USA, 2010) with that quotation.

Re plaque (above): a pity about the missing "l" in Durrell.
