The Ionian Islands comprise larger, well-known islands like Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, and Ithaca, as well as several smaller islands. These islands have a rich history, evidenced by numerous fascinating archaeological sites, medieval castles, and impressive churches – a paradise for culture enthusiasts.

Be enchanted by the captivating landscapes of the Ionian Islands, characterized by lush greenery and wooded mountains that often extend down to the beautiful shores. Not only will active travelers find delight in unique hiking and cycling experiences, but the numerous stunning beaches also invite you to unwind and immerse yourself in tranquility and relaxation.

Due to their location off the northwestern coast of Greece, the climate on the Ionian Islands is slightly milder and moister than the more southern islands. Here, you'll find abundant olive and lemon trees, cypresses, pines, and pine forests. Each Ionian Island has its own charm, which you must experience for yourself. Discover the Ionian Islands: Corfu is perhaps the most famous of the Ionian Islands and has been a popular destination for years. The capital of the island group is Corfu Town, characterized by its flair and architecture heavily influenced by Italy, as the Venetians ruled here for centuries. This influence can be seen, for example, in the Liston arcades, now housing shops, cafes, and restaurants. The Old Town of Corfu Town is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll through the charming alleys, passing elegant pastel-colored houses and beautiful squares. Don't miss visiting both the old and new Venetian fortresses, where you can immerse yourself in the island's history. One of Corfu's most famous landmarks is the Achilleion Palace, built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria. The palace also gained fame from the Sissi films of the 1950s. The island also offers a variety of cultural treasures, such as the Pondikonisi Monastery on Mouse Island, the Vlacherna Monastery Island, and the Angelokastro Castle ruins.

Zakynthos also awaits you with its unique beauty. The diversity of the island will captivate you, offering sandy beaches, green landscapes, and a unique underwater world. The world-famous photo motif on Zakynthos is the Shipwreck Beach. In 1980, a freighter ran aground at this beach, giving it the name "Shipwreck Beach" or "Smuggler's Cove" as it is surrounded by steep cliffs accessible only from the sea. The Agios Dionysos Church in the capital is another landmark on the island. Additionally, a boat trip to the Blue Caves is a great way to view the island from a different perspective and witness its unique rock formations and caves.

Kefalonia also offers a great variety for your holiday program. As the largest of the Ionian Islands, it enchants you not only with an incredible abundance of colors and scents but also with unique beaches. Enjoy the scent of pine and cypress on Kefalonia, while bougainvillea and oleander captivate you with their colorful splendor. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Myrtos Beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, boasting a white sandy shore and turquoise waters, often with very few people around. Explore the island's capital, Argostoli, and dine at one of its authentic taverns, where you'll find various local dishes complemented by feta, honey, and olive oil, the island's main products. The architecture of the capital is diverse and dominated by several neoclassical buildings. Unwind at this charming boutique hotel in Argostoli. If you're looking for a peaceful place with a rich history, how about a lovely pension exuding serenity and exclusivity, situated in the former residence of the renowned Greek poet George Molfetas, tastefully renovated. The picturesque town of Assos is also a beautiful destination on the island, with its colorful houses along the waterfront and cozy cafes and restaurants. Don't miss a visit to the Assos Castle towering over the town.

Lefkada is particularly renowned as a paradise for surfers. Wind and kite surfers can indulge in their passion under ideal conditions, especially in the southern part of the island, such as the small village of Vasiliki. The Castle of Santa Maura is one of the most impressive medieval structures in Greece. Explore the monastery of Faneromeni, surrounded by lush pine forests. The monastery carries centuries-old history and is the only active monastery on Lefkada. As Lefkada is connected to the Greek mainland by a bridge, you can also access the beautiful island by car. A special scenic highlight on Lefkada is the journey around the southernmost point, Cape Doukato, with its beautiful white lighthouse. We have found a wonderful hotel on Lefkada, uniquely combining the charm of yesteryears with modern comfort.

Visit the island of Kythira and indulge in its authentic atmosphere. The turquoise waters and lush green gorges with waterfalls will immediately captivate you. Kythira is particularly popular with Greeks, who love to spend their summers here due to the island's tranquility and seclusion. The charming main town, Chora, features a picturesque castle ruin, as well as small shops and restaurants. From the castle of Chora, also known as Fortezza, located in the south of the town, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over Chora and the entire bay. An opportunity not to be missed!
