That's with a car, is it's totally different.
If you had to push a Greek penteconter the whole way down that freeway, with occasional side trips for special requests, it might take you a long time too.

It's easy to lose track of time when you're having fun.

As I probably will never see either: are any of the places on the map, especially itaka and troy (us) worth a visit?
Neither are well known enough that I, a resident of Texas, knows anything remarkable about them. I've heard if Ithaca New York, never heard of Troy.
There are things to do and see in any city or town in America, but I expect that kind of travel is an aquired taste.
(By comparison: the small towns around my city boast things like: peanut festival, strawberry festival, highland games. I expect you could find similar events in Ithaca or Troy, but you would need to enjoy that kind of 'state fair' atmosphere. These are things I would drive an hour for but wouldn't travel out of state unless I was there incedentally already)
I grew up in that area as a kid.
Troy is part of the Tri-city Area of Albany/ Schenectady/ Troy, so it is really part of the State Capital. If you are into state capitals, which generally have a mild historical interest, then there you are.
Ithaca is just another small central NY city. Central NY is one of the most beautiful parts of America to drive through, with old stone houses and rock walls dividing farm fields. It's not really known for some big historical event or location, it's just one of those old historical areas where you hit the antique stores, and have meals at quaint little cafes, and stay at a B&B somewhere.
So, delightful for "getting away" and being somewhere pretty? Sounds wonderful.
Yeah, it's a nice region, if you aren't expecting wild Disney like stuff. Lots of history, antiques, scenery, quaintness. Its a great romantic couples weekend trip, you'll get some something-something.
I went to school in the fingerlakes. I like Ithaca a lot. Its this town sitting on top of a mountain surrounded by other mountains. It feels serene and surreal to be there. I think the food is good and the locals really seem to care about their town. Idk about Troy. Most people who live there don't seem to love it when you ask them about it, but my fav video game shops is there. It's really small, but the town itself is cute. If you're ever going to the area as a tourist, id recommend the fingerlakes wine trail. Angry Orchard hard cider is also produced around there. The wine trail is most popular in the fall and its so worth it. My favorite winery is Montezuma and their tasting comes with a wine glass! (And they make fudge and its soooo good). Summer time all the creamerys open and the fun ice cream flavors and wines slushes are such a treat. If I ever have money, I'd love to buy a home in Skaneateles off of the water and just live the rest of my days in peace.
Long story short, I like the area so much id say its worth a visit.

Ok, now show me the trip estimate for making that trip in a big boat…
I noticed when he finally stepped back on his land again, he brought milk, because he told Telemachus back then that he was stepping out to get some milk. /s
That's not the most unrealistic part, unfortunately...
Ohio's is 35 mins
Now you try rowing a boat on the highway!
Don't do it during fall colors or you'll be going 25 down one-lane roads.
It's a "fast food" version of the Odyssey compared to the original Michelin-starred meal.
Took a quick detour for a garbage plate i see
Rome and Syracuse causally chilling in there...
