Ionian Islands


The Ionian Islands are located in the Ionian Sea, on the west of the country. The region is composed of seven main islands : Corfu, Paxos, Lefkas, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Kythira and Zante....

The capital of the region is Corfu, an island full of heritage, history, mythology, battles and a strategic point in time of war. For all those reasons the island today is part of UNESCO World Heritage List. Apart from the tourism the region offers also creeks, beaches and small villages worth seeing. You can also rent a boat to enjoy the different maritime protected area and to see some rare animal species like the caretta caretta sea turtle and the turquoise water of the sea.
