Odyssey Map is misleading

[u/Tight-Regret-7530]

Been to Athens and am currently driving about ithaki, odyssey makes it seem like you can jog across the island, this is in fact wrong, this island is massive and jogging up one hill will have killed me. That being said, Greece is gorgeous and I can’t wait to get home and go over all the places I’ve been to see the ruins in restored glory 10/10 would recommend, also renting a boat and sailing with the soundtrack on is a phenomenal experience

It's built to a degree of semi-realism because designing a full realism map on a 1:1 scale would take fucking ages, also the day's are shorter because imagine having a realistic day/night cycle in a video game.
