Zakynthos
Zakynthos or Zákinthos belongs to the southern Ionian Islands, whose main town is also called Zakynthos. Geographically, we are here directly west of the great Peloponnese peninsula. It was the Venetians who ruled this picturesque island of "Zante" for over 400 years and rightly called it "Fior di Levante", which can be roughly translated as Flower of the East. However, the wildlife native to the area also delights tourists, along with the gorgeous beaches and resorts.
Right after Corfu, Zakynthos is the most important Ionian island from the tourist point of view. It is worth noting that Zakynthos is also very popular among the "loggerhead sea turtles" (Caretta caretta) for laying eggs. Therefore, in 1999, a marine national park was established here to protect the nesting sites.
The ferry port on the island of Zakynthos offers connections to the Greek islands of Paxos, Kefalonia, Meganisi and Corfu, as well as to the ports of Lefkada and Kyllini on the Greek mainland. A total of 6 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Levante Ferries and Lefkada Palace.
Korfu
Corfu is the second largest Greek island in the Ionian Sea after Kefalonia. This island is located in the very west of Greece and is in close contact with Brindisi in southern Italy through the busy ferry connection. In the northeast, the island is separated from the Albanian mainland by barely two kilometers. Since Corfu has a particularly mild climate, it is also known as the "green island". Economically, Corfu is considered one of the most prosperous regions of Greece.
The harbor town of Corfu, located on the east coast, where most ferries arrive and depart, is also called Kerkyra and the good 100,000 inhabitants are called Corfiotes. The island offers beautiful beaches, many city and temple ruins, museums and resorts.
The ferry port on the island of Corfu offers connections to the other Greek islands of Mathraki, Kefalonia, Meganisi, Ereikoussa, Zakynthos, Othonoi and Paxos, as well as to the ports of Lefkada and Igoumenitsa on the Greek mainland. A total of 14 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Joy Cruises, Ventouris Ferries, Anek Superfast, Finikas Lines, Grimaldi Lines, Kerkyra Lines, Joy Lines, Minoan Lines, Ionian Seaways and Lefkada Palace.
