Ionian Islands Guide

The Ionian Islands are a chain of islands that stretch along the West coast of Greece and out into the Ionian Sea. They are much greener than many Greek islands and are a tranquil place for you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas of Greece.

Travel around the Ionian Islands

The method of travel depends upon which of the islands you happen to be visiting. On most, though, it is a pretty safe bet to assume that there is the ability to rent a car. Due to the nature of the roads on some more remote parts of the islands, it always pays to get a four-wheeled drive.

Many islands also have small local buses, though times can be unpredictable. The islands have beautiful scenery, making bikes the perfect way to get around. On Zante, you can get bike tours of the islands, giving you the perfect opportunity to see things in a relaxed and exciting way.

Things to see on the Ionian Islands

The Ionian Islands offer a multitude of things to see, from vast unspoilt stretches of sandy beaches to ancient monuments hidden away in a glove of lush undergrowth. Zante is also known for its endangered species of sea turtle.

When you finally find the energy and inclination to venture off your deckchair, the clear seas around the islands also offer plenty of opportunity for scuba diving. Boat trips are also a great way to see the island, and a trip to see the Blue Caves of Zante is particularly worth the effort.
