A group of islands with the perfect combination!
There is a distinct Italian touch, a “hang-over” from the medieval Venetian rule, yet each island has its own unique character.
When is it best to travel?
You will enjoy this destination more during May-June or September. July and August are quite busy and some places may lose their original character.
Is this trip for me?
How could it not be? If you love the sea and mainland exploration, you will come back again, trust us! For couples, families and small groups of people.
Greece at its best!
A beautiful old town in Corfu, stunning caves and bottomless lakes in Cephalonia, marine parks for monk seals and turtles in Zakynthos, past century villages of traditional architecture in Lefkada, magnificent exotic beaches in Antipaxi… and that’s merely all!
You will fall in love with
Ithaca’s serenity and Paxi’s isle elegant ambience.
Every day, a new surprise!
The famous shipwreck beach with the blue coastal caves, colorful villages, small but really interesting museums, medieval venetian castles over rocky coasts, ancient cities of the bronze age, old monasteries where faith brings miracles, port towns and marinas, olive tree farms and pine forests next to the seaside, vineyard “carpets”…
A nature lover?
