Holiday houses & holiday apartments Lefkas

DuMont Travel-Paperback - Corfu and Ionian Islands (2009), page 27 (translated from German):
"www.atraveo.de: Europe’s largest holiday home platform where all tour operators as well as private owners can present their houses.”

The author Klaus Bötig gives an impression of the region:
“Corfu and the Ionian Islands are not only geographically close to Italy. They are far less rugged and more flat than the other Greek islands in the Aegean Sea – and especially Corfu and Páxos are much greener.”

The Ionian Island Corfu, Zakynthos, Lefkas and Kefalonia west from the Greek mainland offer crystal clear water and delightful beaches that wait to be discovered. The beaches of Porto Katsiki and Egremni on Lefkas are regarded as the most beautiful on the globe with their spectacular cliff formation. Due to the size of the individual islands one is always close to one’s own personal dream beach. More than half of our holiday apartments and houses on the Ionian Islands are 500 metres or less away from the next beach. Probably the most popular and diverse island is Corfu. We recommend a day trip to the splendid small palace Achilleion. Sissi and later Wilhelm II resided here and enjoyed the view towards the sea. The famous Austrian royalty had this palace built for her as a holiday domicile. It has a well kept palace garden with views towards the sea and can be accessed by visitors. Afterwards it is worth to visit the islands capital Kerkyra that provides with its historical centre and old fortress one of Greece’s most appealing towns. The old city centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 and one is able to spend a lovely time in one of the numerous cafés and restaurants. Particularly in the evening the place turns into a living room with a special Mediterranean flair.

Greece’s islands promise a special, diverse and unique holiday. The choice of idyllic islands seems sheer endless when thinking of Greece. Nobody really knows the exact number of islands as it is very difficult to distinguish between rocks which poke out of the sea and islands. There should be around 3,000 islands which one can explore. About 100 Greek islands are permanently inhabited. It is said that there is an island for anybody’s taste.
But how does one choose an island? That is difficult indeed. Whether the Ionian Islands such as Corfu, Kefalonia or Zakynthos or the many islands in the Aegean Sea such as Thasos, Rhodes, My-konos or the volcanic island Santorini – diversity, individuality and a great holiday at the seaside are guaranteed everywhere.
Crete which is about 160 kilometers away from the Greek mainland is not only the largest island but also the most popular Greek holiday destination. It is the cradle of Minoan culture.
