| The Ionian Islands |
 Kerkyra, Kephalonia, Zakynthos, Lefkada, Paxoi, Kythera. Seven Islands, seven Emeralds floating over the azure Ionian Sea.Follow the watery itineraries. Enjoy a long lasting tradition in each town, in each village, in each picturesque port. Homer guides you: "...Here people deal in ship's gear of all kinds, such as cables and sails, and here, too, are the places where oars are made, for the Phaeacians are not a nation of archers;they know nothing about bows and arrows,but are a sea-faring folk, and pride themselves on their masts, oars and ships, with which they travel far over the sea." 
Encounter a unique mixture of Venetian and Colonial architecture, narrow, winding alleys "kandounia", fascinating archeological, historical, religious and natural sights. Mountain villages and limitless emerald beaches welcome you. Each island has a distinctive identity that makes it predominate over the rest.
