Ionian Islands

New free factfiles are available for destinations featured in the current issue of the magazine. With more on what each of these destinations has to offer, you can trust the advice we give - because we've been there!

Ithaca, Kefalonia, Lefkas and Zakynthos – the islands grouped at the southern tail of the Ionian chain – all have more than their fair share of rugged beauty and excellent beaches. Each island fits the bill perfectly for lazy beach holidays, but they have distinctly different characters, so be sure you’re heading for the one most suited to your needs.
You’ll find sublime mountain landscapes with pine and cypress, some of Greece’s finest sandy beaches and a spectrum of nightlife that swings from laid-back harbour-front tavernas to the worst excesses of booze and video bars.
