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.
Lefkada
The northern Ionian neighbor island of Kefalonia is called Lefkada and is directly connected to the Greek mainland in the north in the area of its main town Lefkada by the highway 42. The strait there is partly only a few hundred meters narrow. If one looks a little more exactly, however, it concerns a movable floating bridge in the channel of Levkas. Remarkable is another neighboring island in the south called Ithaca, the home of the legendary Greek hero Odysseus.
About 23,000 people live on Lefkada. The highest elevation, nearly 1,160 meters, is called Elati or Stavrota. The island is a popular vacation destination because of its beautiful beaches, remote mountain monasteries, diverse resort offerings and, last but not least, impressive panoramas.
