Introduction
Ionian islands
The Ionian is the island complex with the most visitors after the Cyclades and Crete.
The geographical position of these islands is in the western side of the country, and
they are strongly connected to Italy by history and culture.
Their capital towns, such as Corfu Town, Zakynthos Town, and Argostoli, bare great
resemblance to the Venetian style as the Ionian islands have undergone occupation by
the Venetians during the Medieval times.
Apart from their unique, for the rest of Greece, architectural style, some other characteristics of the Ionian islands are the lush greenery and the beautiful, as well as the wonderful
golden beaches with the crystal clear waters. Corfu, Zakynthos, Kefalonia and
Lefkada are the most popular destinations in the Ionian Sea.
