Review and book hotels on beautiful Ionian Islands
Zakynthos is a green island, thanks to the luxuriant plantation it has, which is due to the rain, very common in winter. Homer in “Odyssey” calls the island “woody” and Venetians referred to it with the poetic name “Fioro di Levante”.
Due to the abundant water and the luxuriant plantation, the climate is mild; summers are rather cool, mainly after sunset and winters not extremely cold. The sea is pretty war, a quite favorable factor, both for tourism and the reproduction of the sea turtle caretta-caretta and the seal monachus-monachus.
Kefalonia is the largest of the Seven Island (Eptanisa) in the Ionian Sea, its area measuring approximately 780 sq. kms. It lies opposite the entrance to the gulf of Patras and at a distance of about 30 kms. from the western shores of the Peloponnese, between the islands of Ithaca, Zakynthos and Lefkada.
Kefalonia is the most mountainous island of the Ionian sea and its highest peak, rises to 1628 meters. The climate of Kefalonia is temperate with mild winters, relatively cool summers and plenty of sunshine throughout the year.
The physical beauty in Corfu of lush vegetation and wildlife combined with the typical Greek seascapes and the architecture of the British and the Italians attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
The island of Corfu is an exceptional resort for your holidays as it combines breathtaking natural beauty, interesting historical Corfu town sites and Corfu sights the unique mentality of the hospitable inhabitants.
On Corfu it is easy to combine relaxation with intense night life.

The island has been quite rich ever since ancient times. The fertile soil have blessed the locals with grapes for wine, wheat, fruits and olives as well as obsidian and rich fishing waters.

The island at this time is full of flowers and colors, perhaps for this reason, it was named "Fioro of Levante"
Lefkada is a very popular summer resort. Young visitors party all night, windsurfers have some excellent spots, there are quiet places for those who just want to relax, and there is lots to see. The people on the island is known for their hospitality, and many of them manage to live of the tourism in the summer. Others are involved with farming, fishing and stockbreeding.
The island's name means white, and refers to the white cliffs in the south. It is a green, mountainous island, and it is connected to the mainland by a bridge.
An introduction to Greece
Perhaps you're looking for a beach holiday with a bit of the ancient mixed in. If so then a holiday on Halkidiki, Kefalonia, Lefkada or Zante will suit you down to the ground. From here you can enjoy all the traditional Greek island experiences including fantastic beaches and rustic tavernas. Plus there's the added bonus of a visit to Athens to see the Acropolis and ruins of the Parthenon to name but a few sites. Does this sound like the last minute holiday to Greece you're after?
For a more traditional beach holiday to Greece you may prefer one of the better known islands. Known as the Ionian 'Emerald Isle' Corfu is a mix of lush pine-clad mountains and soft sandy beaches. Thassos is the island of choice if you're after the more traditional Greek experience in unspoilt surroundings. If you're after a bit more action on your summer holiday to Greece then maybe Crete or Rhodes with their well known party capitals would suit you better. Not forgetting Santorini, Samos and Kos all of which simply ooze charm and tranquillity with their sugar cube villages and picturesque countryside.
Which of these sounds like the perfect summer holiday to Greece? The choice is yours.

However to avoid having to change flights, larger companies will book you on a flight to Kos International Airport (Hippocrates) where you can transfer easily in 30 minutes either by taxi or by hiring a car. Buses are a regularly available but check timetables prior to your departure dates as times vary. A taxi transfer will cost around 25-30 Euros.
Kos Nightlife
With Kos being one lively Island, you will find clubs like Heaven (in the Lambi area) with regular DJ spots and you will also find traditional English style bars like the Kings Arms Pub which has five bars. At the many bars in Kos you will find that bars and most clubs don't charge entry although most people stay in the pubs found on the main 'Bar Street' stretch. If you want a break from the clubs and bars for a couple of hours, you can visit the outdoor cinema in Kos Town 'Orpheus'. As usual in Greece, the law states that loud music cannot be played after midnight – and police do drive around as a warning to bar owners – so the music is usually turned down at this time although most bars have back areas or places to gather upstairs and indoors where music is still pumping and drinks are still flowing.
