Stunning Coastal Landscapes

The Ionian Islands are defined by dramatic geological formations, ranging from the towering limestone cliffs of Myrtos and Porto Katsiki to the unique sandstone channels of Canal d'Amour. This collection features Zakynthos’ iconic Navagio Beach, home to the MV Panagiotis shipwreck, and the protected nesting grounds for Loggerhead sea turtles at Gerakas. Notable landmarks include Cape Lefkátas, where a lighthouse stands on the site of an ancient temple to Apollo, and the twin bays of Porto Timoni on Corfu’s rugged western coastline.
