Western Greece and the Ionian Islands
The aquamarine waters and the green all around coasts are the most indicative aspects of the Ionian Islands and the coast of Western Greece. The Ionian Islands’ scenery enjoys a great variety: from cosmopolitan ports flocked by visitors to small picturesque villages for those seeking tranquility. The Ionian is among the best destinations for both sailing and motor boats. Winds are not strong in the area and the routes suggested can provide a convenient trip even to particularly small boats.
