The Ionian Islands for beach lovers
It is not a secret that Greece is home to some of the most spectacular beaches, especially in the Ionian Islands. The combination of white sandy stretches and mesmerising turquoise waters makes them almost unreal! Are you wondering where to start? We can help you there! The most stunning and popular beaches of the Ionian Islands must be those of Myrtos Beach. If you have an apartment in Kefalonia, start with Antisamos Beach.

In Corfu, you can enjoy two lovely beaches with perfectly coloured waters: Agios Spiridon and Agios Gordios. If you are looking for smaller pebble beaches, get a villa in Ithaka and explore the beaches or go to Paxos. Don’t wait any longer, and make your blue and emerald dreams come true!
The Ionian Islands for nature lovers
The islands offer varied landscapes with turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and a diversity of hilly slopes. Within the region, you can enjoy 26 different hiking trails as you explore and discover each island. Kefalonia and Lefkada are great places to go hiking, and so is the island of Ithaka, less developed than the neighbouring Corfu. In Corfu, you can choose from several trails with different lengths. If you are lost and don’t know where to start, check the Wikiloc website and choose the trail that best suits your fitness level. Every island has different walking tours and several agencies that can arrange the walks for you. Get your private villa in Ionian Islands and bond with nature.

Top 7 travel tips in the Ionian Islands
1. Go to the charming Lefkas
We recommend you don’t overlook Lefkas as it would be a shame if you missed the most wonderful and unspoiled scenery with sparkling, translucid waters. Lefkas is one of the only Greek islands you can drive to from your luxury villa in the Ionian Islands, as it is linked to the mainland by a narrow causeway. Enjoy the laid-back vibes and a charming island to spend time amongst the timeless villages, a rugged coastline and old olive groves. Discover its little coves and beaches, sometimes full of windsurfers and surfers from every corner of the world.
2. Visit the exotic Kefalonia
In the heart of the Ionian Sea, the island of Kefalonia is one of the most beautiful Greek islands of the Ionian group. Kefalonia is one of those picture-perfect destinations that becomes even more stunning when you see it with your eyes. The incredible beauty of this island has captivated film directors, and “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” was shot here. The crystal-clear beaches and the indigo bays are equally famous, and its food thrills the most demanding palates. Visit the lovely villages of Argostoli, Sami and Assos. Don’t forget to get a villa in Skala to spend more time on the blue waters. Skala is closest to the sea, surrounded by the best beaches.
3. Dreaming of visiting Corfu?
Located in the north of the Ionian Sea, the island of Corfu is a cosmopolitan and multicultural island where to enjoy the glorious past of its imposing palaces and old mansions. If you are interested in culture, you can visit the museums on the island. Get a villa in the Ionian Islands and take a trip to Corfu. Explore the corners of amazing and picturesque fishing villages, discover the verdant islets and take in the incredible landscapes. The beaches, of course, will take you to paradise the minute you step on them! Enjoy Corfu at its best!
4. Zakynthos
Zakynthos is a popular island destination amongst tourists. The southern and southeastern coastlines draw in most of the tourism. There are a few remote areas also in the southwest, Keri and Limni Keriou, more relaxed and slow-paced locations. The island is home to a forested wilderness and lovely rural villages limited by the rugged cliffs ending in sparkling, translucid waters.
5. Ithaca: Explore the most mythical island
Every visitor falls in love with this beautiful island. Greek mythology talks about the Cyclops and Lotus-eaters. It’s a fantastic story that ends in Ithaca, where Odysseus finally returns home. Apart from its mythological background, Ithaca boasts a laid-back vibe, lush green vegetation and emerald waters, making it one of the most stunning islands for relaxation. Find a spot on the lovely beaches of Filiatro, Sarakiniko and Agios Ioannis to lie down for the day. Take romantic walks along the promenade, hike the paths along the island and indulge in seafood and fresh fish at the traditional tavernas. Book a villa in the Ionian Islands for a chance to enjoy Ithaca and create everlasting memories!
6. Try the local cuisine
The rural and urban cooking of each island is a tiny but important piece of Greek cuisine. Everybody knows the most popular recipes, including moussaka, tzatziki, Greek salad, stuffed vine leaves and baklava. Beyond those recipes, each region has its speciality influenced by the proximity to the sea, fertile land and fresh local produce. The Ionian cuisine, influenced by the Venetian occupation, boasts a variety of tasty dishes. Try Corfu’s pastitsada, beef or cockerel stewed with pasta and a spicy tomato sauce. Indulge yourself in Peppery ladotyri cheese and nougat from Zakynthos or delicious lentils and salami from Lefkas. Fill up your glass with some Kefalonia’s dry white Robola and smooth Verdea on Zakynthos to wash down every bite you take, or sip Ouzo liquor after your meal.
7. Practice some water sports
The crystal clear and turquoise waters of the Ionian Islands invite you for a dip any time of the day but enjoying the waters of the Ionian Sea can also be done by practising your favourite water sports. Enjoy a ride on the banana boat, try jet skiing, improve your kite-surfing skills or set sail to explore the beaches and islands around. Get a villa in Fiskardo, a few hours from Ionian Island, and enjoy scuba diving and boat tours.
