The Ionian Islands give visitors a unique Greek experience with their green landscapes and crystal-clear waters that set them apart from other Greek island groups. This collection of seven main islands, including Corfu, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos, shows off Venetian architecture from their Italian history. Travelers can enjoy amazing beaches like Navagio Beach on Zakynthos, famous for its shipwreck on golden sands, or the blue caves of Paxos. The islands host many cultural festivals throughout the year, like the Carnival of Corfu in February and summer music festivals celebrating traditional Greek music and dance. From Corfu, the most popular port, you can easily catch ferries to mainland Greece, especially Igoumenitsa, as well as to Italy through ports like Bari and Brindisi. The islands' mild weather, rich culture, and easy access make them perfect for island-hopping adventures across the Ionian Sea.
Kefalonia, the largest of Greece's Ionian Islands, offers a perfect mix of beautiful beaches, mountain landscapes, and authentic Greek culture. This amazing island is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and dramatic limestone cliffs that were featured in the movie 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin.' Visitors can explore the magical underground lake of Melissani, where sunlight creates a stunning blue glow through an opening in the cave ceiling. The charming port town of Fiskardo, with its colorful Venetian buildings that survived the 1953 earthquake, shows off the island's historical architecture. Wine lovers can try the local Robola grape at vineyards across the island's fertile valleys. Every August, many villages host traditional Greek festivals with music, dance, and local food. Kefalonia is also a great starting point for island hopping, with regular ferries to nearby Ithaca, Zakynthos, and the mainland port of Patras, making it easy to expand your Greek adventure.
