Ionian Islands  The Ionian Islands are a group of islands in the
Ionian Sea in western Greece, and thus their name.  The main
islands are as follows from the north to the south:  - Corfu
(Corfu is its international name but Greeks call it Kerkyra) -
Paxos or Paxi (in fact, Paxos is the island, and Paxi is a group
of a few small islands) - Lefkada (also known as Lefkas) -
Ithaca - Kefalonia - Zakynthos (Zante)  In the group there are
other inhabited islands (eg, Mathraki, Meganissi, Erikoussa
etc.), but they are small, with population less than 100
residents. Tourists visit them for walk, not for accommodation.
A few years ago Cythera was also part of the Ionian islands but
after the newest administrative division it now belongs to
Attica region.  highlights: Corfu, Paxos, Lefkada, Ithaca,
