Ionian Islands
Ιόνια Νησιά
The Ionian islands sit off Greece's west coast and look nothing like the Cyclades: green, Venetian-influenced, with bell towers instead of blue domes and a cuisine shaped by centuries of Italian contact.
Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia and Zakynthos take most of the visitors, while Paxos, Ithaca and Meganisi stay quieter.
