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.
