The Ionian Islands, scattered along Greece's western coastline, offer a refreshing blend of lush green landscapes and crystal-clear azure waters. Unlike their drier Aegean counterparts, these islands boast verdant olive groves and cypress forests thanks to higher rainfall. Corfu, the most popular and largest island, features a UNESCO-listed Old Town with Venetian architecture and winding cobblestone streets. Visitors can explore the impressive Achilleion Palace, once home to Empress Elisabeth of Austria, or enjoy the famous Paleokastritsa beach. The islands are known for their vibrant Easter celebrations with unique local customs, while August brings numerous cultural festivals across the archipelago. From the Ionian Islands, travellers can easily catch ferries to mainland Greece, with regular connections to Patra and Igoumenitsa, as well as routes to Italy via Bari and Brindisi, making them an excellent starting point for a broader European adventure.
Zante, officially known as Zakynthos, is a stunning Greek island in the Ionian Sea, famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and dramatic limestone cliffs. The island offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, vibrant nightlife, and rich cultural heritage. Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach, is Zante's most iconic attraction, featuring a rusting shipwreck on pristine white sands surrounded by towering cliffs. Other popular spots include the Blue Caves, Laganas Beach (a nesting site for endangered loggerhead sea turtles), and the charming Venetian-influenced Zante Town. In summer, the island hosts cultural festivals celebrating Greek music, dance, and cuisine, while August brings the religious festival of Agios Dionisios, the island's patron saint. Zante is an excellent base for exploring nearby islands, with regular ferry connections to Kefalonia, the Greek mainland port of Killini, and routes to Italy via connecting ferries.
