What To Do on the Ionian Islands
You will be able to find a host of guide books and online detail about each of the Ionian islands and the Ionian mainland.
We have listed out just a few ideas on getting to know the islands but it can be fun to occasionally veer off the beaten track to discover the hidden secrets.
The islands are not large and whereas it helps to do some homework before visiting a new country or city, it will be difficult to get lost on an Ionian island.
Our island managers are there to give you any advice you may need but local politics might make it difficult for them to give personal recommendations on where to eat or which boat hirer is best etc.
Not always, but quite often, owners of tavernas located in a backstreet and not on the waterfront, have to work harder to impress and satisfy.
As a result of tourism, television, good schooling and a natural openness, most Ionian islanders speak a mixture of languages so whatever you want – ask a local person as you are more likely to get a more interesting answer than trying to find it in a guide book.
Above all else, the lifestyle and beauty of the Ionian islands are incentives to relax: don’t over-plan - do things on a whim!
