Ionian Sea Islands

The Ionian Islands offer the most breathtaking cliff-backed beaches, with striking milky white sand that blends in beautifully with the azure sea.

Zakynthos, Ithaca, Corfu, Kefalonia, Lefkada, Paxi (or Paxos) and Kythira are the seven largest and most popular islands of the group, famous for their sugar-fine sand beaches and turquoise waters, making them one of the most summery destinations in the area.

Antikythira, Antipaxi, Ereikousa, Mathraki, Othonoi, Meganisi, and Strofades are lesser-known, smaller islands that have, however, so much to offer.

It’s no wonder that some of the wildest and most famous shores in Greece are located on this side of the country. Egremnoi and Porto Katsiki beaches on Lefkada Island, Navagio or „Shipwreck“ beach on Zante (Zakynthos) Island and Myrtos Beach on Kefalonia Island, are but a few of the award-winning, must-visit destinations, in a long list of spots with cool emerald waters, which will award the traveler with once in a lifetime experiences.

Their temperate climate, lush vegetation, beautiful mountains and breathtaking beaches will provide the perfect surroundings for your next holiday.
