Ionian Islands

You’ve arrived in heaven with the sapphire waves of the Ionian Sea. You’ll love exploring Kefalonia, Corfu, Zakynthos (Zante), Lefkada, Ithaca, and Paxos—all fantastic vacation spots off Greece’s west coast. The main Ionian Sea islands of Greece were ruled by the Venetians for many years, as evidenced by their churches and castles. The Ionian Islands are lush, verdant, and covered in vineyards, olive trees, and pines. They make an exquisite backdrop for award-winning white sand beaches and peacock-blue waters. Additionally, you’ll discover that the kind locals have a soul full of music.
