They are many, they are far apart, but well reached by comfortable ferries. The advice is to arrive in the island of Corfu (if you want to visit the northern part of the archipelago), or from Kefalonia, to the southern islands. You find – even now – many tourists, but also many fishing villages and many beaches. If you want to taste the authentic lifestyle greek, it is necessary that you visit the interior of the larger islands, but if you love the quiet you can choose a small island, such as Meganisi, Erikousa or Othoni. http://www.visitgreece.gr/en/greek_islands/ionian_islands
If you arrive by plane, try to rent a car or a bicycle. Yes, it is necessary that you have a clear idea about the places you plan to visit, as well as your base camp. You’ll find that the island of Corfu is very green, that has kilometers of wild beaches and many isolated coves; You discover the unusual rock formations of Sidari, and maybe even you – like many of my friends – you’ll want to go in that tiny village, to observe his “Canal d’Amour”. No problem if you’re alone, but you must remember that – if you’re in good company and will be swimming in the canal – you two will remain united. Forever. http://www.booking.com/hotel/gr/jasmine-apartments.it.html?aid=356981;label=gog235jc-city-XX-gr-sidarion-unspec-sk-com-L%3Ait-V%3A0CDwQFjAA-O%3Aunk-B%3Aunk-N%3Ayes-S%3Abo;sid=ca43f15dbf3a8ef6e88b33d257f58473;dcid=4;dist=0;srfid=26d014147dd3efeb486f796b7d38ae72839650e5X1;type=total;ucfs=1&
