The bright green Ionian Islands - Corfu, Lefkada, Ithaca, Cephalonia, Zante, Paxoi and the faraway Kethera - have their own separate and unchanging character.

Not far from Italy, these islands are the crossroads of Greece with the rest of Europe. There is excellent air and sea transportation. The wonderful landscapes, crystal-clear seas, villas and Venetian castles combine harmoniously with the deep blue Ionian and the dazzling sunlight. Their rich history and traditions combine to provide visitors with a magical experience. 

The Ionian Islands are commercial and marine centres, as well as having a long tradition of arts and letters.
