The Ionian Islands are the greenest islands of Greece and have a beautiful azure sea. You start your trip on Lefkada. Make sure you visit the white beach of Porto Katsiki. Then you travel to Cephalonia. Cephalonia is known for its turtles, the Melissani lake and picturesque towns such as Assos and Fiskardo. Cephalonia has also been the location for the movie Captain's Corelli's Mandolin with Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz. You end your trip on Ithaca, the birthplace of Odyseus. It's a quiet island with beautiful bays and peaceful villages.
