The Ionian islands offer a different Greek experience with their lush vegetation, Venetian architecture, and emerald waters. Unlike the arid Cyclades, these islands are green paradises.
Corfu boasts UNESCO World Heritage sites and Italian-influenced architecture. Kefalonia features the stunning Myrtos Beach and Melissani Cave. Zakynthos is home to the world-famous Navagio Shipwreck Beach.
Travel tip: These islands are accessible from Kyllini port and Igoumenitsa. Consider renting a car to explore the mountainous interiors and hidden coves.
