| The
Ionian Island Group The Ionian Islands hug the West Coast of Greece and are distinguished from many of the other Greek Islands by their fertile and lush appearance, brought about by exposure to winter rains. Some of the most stunning beaches are to be found amongst the Ionian chain. Good choices for the independent minded traveller would be Kefalonia or Lefkas; for the more traditional holiday Corfu and Zakynthos also known as Zante are very popular. Ithaca legendary home of Odysseus and Paxos attract a less mainstream clientele as they cannot be reached with direct flights. Spring time in the Ionian chain is a truly delightful experience as the abundance of wild flowers fills the air with a rich aroma - indeed the Italians named Zakynthos Ile fiore di Levante - flower of the East because the sailors could detect the perfume of flowers before they caught sight of the island |

| LEFKAS
or LEFKADA Relatively undeveloped with only two major resorts. Lefkas is a magnat for windsurfers and those looking for a more relaxed experience of the Greek islands. Old women in traditional local dress are not uncommon in the remoter mountain villages. |
