f the Ionian islands Ithaca
For customers who like to explore lesser- known destinations, Ithaca is the place to suggest. Quieter and less developed than its neighbour Kefalonia, Ithaca is home to tiny, unspoilt, traditional villages that will make your customers feel like they’re discovering the island for the first time. The mountainous terrain makes it ideal for those who love hiking and bike riding, and the routes give unparalleled views of the beautiful Ionian Sea.
Cythera
Situated on the southern tip of the Greek mainland is Cythera. Its authentic Venetian heritage and influence is easy to see across the whole island, with churches and mansions built on cobbled, narrow streets. The island’s capital, Chóra, is the best place to admire this architecture. Meanwhile, the small marina town of Kapsáli is one of the best places to sit and relax in a bar or restaurant and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Lefkas
Lefkas lies very close to the mainland, and it’s possible to drive the short distance over a bridge across the Ionian Sea to reach the island. Its main mountain village, Karya, is bursting with traditions, and is best known for its embroidery, with many examples on display at the local folk museum. Food is also an important part of Lefkas’s cultural heritage, with lots of ingredients produced on the island. Local delicacies include salted cod, cuttlefish, and lentils served with seasoned bread, olive oil and vinegar. The island also boasts its own wine, with two grape varieties, vertzami and vardea, grown exclusively in Lefkas.
Paxos
One of the smallest Ionian islands, Paxos is a haven of natural beauty, with unspoilt beaches and a number of caves to explore. Its remarkable coastline is best admired from the water, so suggest a boat trip to see it in all its glory. Paxos lies next to its smaller neighbour Antipaxos, an islet accessible by boat from one of Paxos’s largest ports, Gaios. This quaint town is home to stunning architecture and charming cafes that overlook the bright blue waters.
