The Ionian Islands, for architecture
Corfu is architecturally blessed, with the Venetians, French and British all influencing its development. Its towns are cheerful and colorful, painted in a warm palette of straw yellow, pastel pink and orange.
If you’re looking for one island with it all, it’s Kefalonia. Draws include hills perfect for hiking; tiny, secret pebble beaches around the perimeter; unnerving cliffs leading to the calm of Myrtos Beach and storybook towns like Assos. Distinctive waters surround Kefalonia — an electric neon blue, resulting from falling limestone chemically reacting with seawater.
