Scattered off the west coast of Greece, from Corfu in the north to Kythera in the south, the Ionian Islands are a true gem.

The Ionian Islands boast an alluring mix of superb beaches, turquoise waters, hiking trails, traditional villages, bustling towns, a delicious gastronomical tradition and plenty of history.
