The Ionian Islands

   The Ionian Islands are among the most beautiful places in Greece. Otherwise called the Eptanese islands (Greek for seven islands), Corfu, Kefalonia, Lefkada, Paxi, Zakynthos, Ithaka and Kithira are all blessed by nature with lush greenery and some of the most amazing beaches in the Mediterranean region. All the islands are popular with the yachting community, who often travel from one island to another; therefore it’s not unusual, especially during the summer season, to see each and every harbour full of yachts and sailing boats.  However it is still quite easy to visit all of them, even for those who are not lucky enough to own their own boat! As many will agree, it is really difficult to determine which island is the most beautiful, despite the similarities they may have.  However, each has something unique to offer.
