​GREEK ISLANDS - GREECE - Ionian Islands

The Ionian Islands are a group of islands in Greece. They are traditionally called the Heptanese ("Seven Islands"), but the group includes many smaller islands as well as the seven principal ones. Zakynthos, Ithaca, Corfu, Kefalonia, Lefkada, Paxi (or Paxos) and Kythira are the seven largest and most popular islands of the Ionian Islands.
As a distinct historic region they date to the centuries-long Venetian rule, which preserved them from becoming part of the Ottoman Empire, and created a distinct cultural identity with many Italian influences. The Ionian Islands became part of the modern Greek state in 1864.
