What people love about Ionian Islands Tours
- 10-Day Ionian Island Adventure: Explore Zakynthos, Kefalonia, and Lefkada
Amazing trip! I can’t say enough about how well everything was planned out and how much stress that took off of us. Private Tours Greece was a fantastic agency to work with. We did all the suggested optional tours as well and it was completely worth it. These islands were the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I will definitely be using Tour Radar to book future trips.
Fabulous 6 days obtaining an insight in to the life of villagers living in South Corfu whilst trekking the Corfu trail. varied terrain, some beautiful vistas, and nature. Guide Spiros really fantastic- knowledgeable, passionate and respectful of all. Accomodation reasonably austere in the middle of the week, could be improved. Start and finish resorts fab. loved the Greek food- fresh and plentiful options.
Walking the Corfu Trail (South)
Just absolutely unbelievable. Was the trip of a lifetime! I’ve never had such fun. Highly recommend!

What our customers ask about Ionian Islands Tours & Trips
When is the best time to visit the Ionian Islands for a general sightseeing tour?
The Ionian Islands welcome visitors from May to October with pleasant temperatures and clear skies. June and September stand out as excellent months for exploring with temperatures hovering around 25°C (77°F) and noticeably fewer tourists than July and August. During these months Corfu Kefalonia and Zakynthos offer easy access to key sites like Melissani Cave and Navagio Beach. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Wild flowers in abundance and walking seeing few people with wonderful coffee stops in seemingly remote places made the experience truly special."
What are the must-see highlights across the Ionian Islands?
Each Ionian island holds distinctive attractions that tell different stories of Greek history and natural beauty. Corfu's UNESCO Old Town showcases Venetian fortresses while Kefalonia's Melissani Cave offers an otherworldly underground lake experience. Zakynthos draws visitors to its famous Navagio Beach with its weathered shipwreck. Ithaca connects travelers to Odysseus's legendary home and the charming port of Vathi. The fishing village of Fiskardo in Kefalonia serves excellent seafood while Corfu's Korission Lagoon attracts 120 bird species including flamingos. A TourRadar traveler shared about Kefalonia: "The scenery is breathtaking and exploring the Melissani Caves was an unforgettable experience."
What's the local cuisine like in the Ionian Islands?
The Ionian kitchen blends Greek and Venetian influences creating unique island flavors. Corfu specializes in pastitsada (spiced beef with pasta) and sofrito (veal in wine sauce). Kefalonia's waterfront tavernas particularly in Fiskardo harbor excel in fresh seafood dishes. Family restaurants like Thomas's Place in Kalami Bay maintain traditional cooking methods. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "the authentic Greek dishes and fresh local ingredients served with spectacular views."
What activities are available beyond beach and swimming?
The islands offer rich experiences for active travelers. Hiking enthusiasts can tackle the Corfu Trail while food lovers can visit olive oil producers and local wineries like Orealios in Kefalonia. History buffs appreciate the Durrell family sites in Corfu and numerous Venetian fortresses. A TourRadar traveler shared "Beyond the stunning beaches we loved discovering hidden villages sampling local wines and learning about the islands' rich history at places like the Byzantine Castle of Angelokastro."
What are the accommodation options available in the Ionian Islands?
Travelers find varied lodging choices across the islands. Corfu's 4-star Dassia Beach Hotel provides beach access and two pools. Kefalonia's Maribel Hotel offers sea-view rooms while history enthusiasts can stay at Kalami Bay's White House where Lawrence Durrell wrote "Prospero's Cell." Some tours feature nights aboard traditional gulet boats moving between different ports. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The mix of traditional hotels and boutique properties really enhanced our island-hopping experience."
How do I get around between the Ionian Islands?
Regular ferries and private boats connect the major islands with established routes between Corfu and Paxos Lefkada and Kefalonia and Zakynthos and Kefalonia. Many organized tours combine land travel in air-conditioned vehicles with catamaran journeys between islands. According to a TourRadar traveler "the combination of private transfers and ferry connections made island hopping seamless and enjoyable."
