The Ionian Islands are an archipelago of the Ionian Sea, beginning in the south of Albania, continuing along the coasts of Epirus and Acarnania and ending off the western coasts of the Peloponnese. A part of them today constitutes a periphery of Greece.
The Ionian Islands are composed of seven main islands near the western coasts of Greece, which gave them the name of Seven Islands or Heptanese, as well as several minor islands, including, from north to south, Sazan the Diapontic Islands, Islands Echinades and Strophades.
The vegetation is abundant and luxuriant, with forests, cypresses and olive trees, thanks to a mild climate, cooler and relatively humid. Located on a seismic zone, the Ionian islands offer beautiful mountainous landscapes, imposing chalk cliffs and sandy beaches which are among the most beautiful in Greece.
Each island has its own personality, some seaside and some more authentic.
