General presentation
Îles Ioniennes et Corfou
Greener Archipelago facing the Adriatic, between the old town of Corfu, creeks, cliffs, villages and Venetian influences.
The discovery of the Ionian and Corfu Islands revolves around Corfu, Paleokastritsa and Cephalonia. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline, the heritage and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 9 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: summer flood and crossing to organize. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Corfou
Corfou is a green Ionian island, marked by olive groves, Venetian influences and an old town with elegant arcades. Between western coves, hill villages and views to Albania, it offers a Greece more Adriatic than cycladic.
Town or village
Paleokastritsa
Paleokastritsa Concentrates the most famous relief of Corfu, with boxed bays, promontories covered with pines, monastery and caves accessible by boat. The colors of the water change quickly according to the depth, between dark green near the rocks and light blue in the handles.
Town or village
Céphalonie
Céphalonie is a large Ionian island of cliffs, powerful beaches, caves, cypresses and port villages like Fiskardo or Assos. Distances count, but they allow to pass from a turquoise bay to the Ainos mountain and then to more quiet roads to Ithaca.
