The Ionian Islands are situated on the western reaches of Greece, south of the Albanian coast. The Ionian Islands are called Heptanissa in greek, due to the bigger Seven Islands in the region (Heptanissa= Seven Islands), Corfu, Cephalonia, Zacynthus, Lefkada, Ithaca, Cythera, and Paxoi.
The combination of lush green woods and an enticing coastline along with the long history of foreign intervention on the islands, gives them a unique attractiveness and a strong multicultural Mediterranean spirit. Apart from the rich architecture, the Venetian imprints are easily discerned, on these Greek islands.
What characterises the famous Greek coasts is their unique diversity (beaches stretching over many kilometres, small bays and coves, sandy beaches with dunes, pebbly shores, coastal caves surrounded by steep rocks and with the characteristic dark sand of volcanic soils, coastal wetlands), and their clean and transparent waters that have made them renowned and extremely popular all over the world.
