In three weeks time you visit four islands of the Ionian. Because these islands are a bit bigger and the public transport is less frequent and efficient, we offer this trip with a rental car. You start your journey with a night in Zakynthos-town. Then you will visit Ithaka, birthplace of Odysseus. It's a quiet island with beautiful bays and peaceful villages. Then you travel to Lefkada. Make sure you visit the white beach of Porto Katsiki on this island. Next island is the beautiful Kefalonia where you will visit the Melissani lake and picturesque towns such as Assos and Fiskardo. Kefalonia has also been the location for the movie Captain's Corelli's Mandolin with Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz. You end your trip at the busier island of Zakynthos. Zakynthos is known for the Caretta Caretta turtles and the beautiful little white beaches that are only accessible by boat. The most famous beach is Shipwreck Beach with an agrounded smugglers ship. This trip is not the most efficient journey, because it includes a whole day of travelling. But when you want to combine Zakynthos with other islands there are no other options.
