Go no farther than the Ionian Islands if you’re looking for a group of islands to visit in Greece that are not only stunning but also stand out from other Greek islands due to their unique personalities.

Let’s start by determining the location of the Ionian Islands. Off the western coast of Greece, in the Adriatic Sea, one can find them. The main difference between this group of islands and the rest of the Greek islands is that it is considerably lusher and greener. They are also suitable for Greece tourism in both summer and winter due to their moderate and temperate environment.

In winter, the mountains of Central Greece protect them from frigid northerly winds, and in summer, northerly winds and sea breezes help to reduce the heat. The Romans, the Ottoman Empire, the Venetians, the French, and the British have all conquered and influenced the Ionian Islands on several occasions..

Here are some details about these islands: British author Gerald Durrell discusses them in his humorous book My Family and Other Animals. This location served as the setting for both the book and movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin as well as several scenes from the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only. There is a connection between the Ionian Islands and Homer’s Odyssey.
