About Ionian Islands
The Ionian Islands represent a cooler, more verdant version of Greece, with cypress trees, olive groves and grassy hills. Each of the islands — of which Corfu is undoubtedly the most famous — has its own distinct character and culture, making island-hopping all the more appealing. You can expect dazzling beaches, too, with the white sands and turquoise waters which have made Greece’s islands so popular with sun-seekers and water sports enthusiasts. With so much to choose from, it can be tricky to know where to start. Whether you’re on holiday as a couple or with friends and family, our Gurus’ list of the best places to stay in the Ionian Islands is the perfect springboard for planning your trip.
Some of our Ionian Islands Collections:
Long-time favourite Corfu is a lush island brimming with heritage landmarks, beautiful landscapes and pristine beaches. Head inland to discover age-old villages connected by winding walking and cycling trails, or kick back at the blissful beaches of the coast. Corfu Town will delight history buffs. Just south of Corfu, lovely Paxos remains largely underrated and tranquil — a great choice for those looking to step off the beaten track.
Further south is lovely Kefalonia, made famous by Louis de Bernières’ 'Captain Corelli’s Mandolin'. A land of pretty villages, this is a brilliant destination for outdoorsy adventurers and beachgoers. Neighbouring Ithaca — the legendary home of Odysseus — is also a hiking and biking hub, most easily accessed by boat from Kefalonia. Continuing south, you’ll find the party hotspot of Zante, which actually has a quiet side with stunning beaches, and the calm islands of Lefkada and Kythira. Our guide to the best places to stay in the Ionian islands encourages you to explore top spots and lesser-known gems — there’s always more to discover in this superb region.
The Best Places to Stay in the Ionian Islands
FOR TRADITIONAL CHARM

- Museum Hotel George Molfetas is a rare gem. A traditional six-bedroom hotel in the pretty village of Faraklata on Kefalonia, the property has been recognised by the Greek Ministry of Culture as a 'museum hotel' -- meaning that it is beautifully appointed with handmade antiques and original artwork. A favourite for history buffs as well as foodies, who will adore the authentic cookery classes.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
- Fly to Corfu International Airport or to Kefalonia Airport from a number of UK and European cities. Lefkada Preveza/ Aktion Airport. Zakynthos Airport and Kythira Airport offer primarily domestic flights, so you'll find it easiest to travel to those islands via Athens International Airport. Alternatively, hop between islands by ferry, or arrive by cruise ship. Speak to your hotel in advance to arrange an airport or ferry pick up.
- The Ionian Islands are wonderful to explore with the freedom of your own transport! Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
- Expect warm summers, with temperatures hovering around 26-30°C between June and August, which is also peak season. For fewer crowds travel in May or late September, when you can find great hotel deals — but do be aware that October tends to be rainy.
