Situated in the West coast of Greece, adjacent to Italy, the Ionian Islands<\/strong><\/a> are a completely different to the\u00a0stereotypical Cyclades cruising ground.\u00a0The Ionians comprise of a\u00a0chain of 6 large\u00a0islands (Corfu, Paxoi, Lefkas, Kefalonia, Ithaki, Zakynthos), and dozens more smaller islets. The Ionians have always been heavily influenced by neighboring Italy – to such an extent that they strongly resemble our beloved Capri and Ischia.\"Navagio-Zakynthos_3-\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

With plush vegetation and\u00a0trees that grow right where the waves hit the land, the Ionians offer a completely different perspective to\u00a0the barren, whitewashed typical imagery of The Cyclades… On top of that, the\u00a0Ionian Islands enjoy much calmer weather as they are not affected by the violent northern winds that plague the Cyclades during the summer months.<\/p>\n

Dotted with some of the most exquisite\u00a0sandy beaches of the whole East Med – Navagio beach being prominent amongst them, the Ionians are definitely worth seeing! Corfu is the most cosmopolitan island if the Ionians: a cultural\u00a0cauldron where West meets East and a place with a long history of Greek, Italian, French and English influences.<\/p>\n
