The Ionian Islands are a stunning group of islands in Northwestern Greece that have been a popular destination for centuries. They boast striking white cliffs, crystal-clear waters, steady winds, and well-organized beaches offering all the modern amenities you could want. If you ever visit these islands, here are some of the top beaches you should check out.

Zakynthos Island hosts one of the most famous beaches in the Ionian Islands. This beach feels like a slice of paradise with its endless blue waters, white cliffs, and the iconic shipwreck. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking views. You can easily reach this beach by boat from Anafotiria village. Be sure to take part in the beach tours that go to the cliff top for some incredible vistas; it’s definitely worth the effort.

On Kefalonia Island, there’s a peaceful and organized beach that is quite popular among visitors. Its sparkling emerald waters, white pebbles, and stunning panoramas from the cliffs are what draw people in. When hunger strikes, there are several taverns and cafés along the beach where you can grab a meal. While the main beach area is equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds, there are smaller, less organized parts that are perfect for those seeking solitude.

Voutoumi Beach on the island of Antipaxi is a hidden gem of the Ionian Islands. Located about 3 kilometers from Paxos, this beach is surrounded by blonde rocks, lush green forests, and cyan-colored waters. When not lounging on the beach, you can explore the indigo bays and vineyards of Antipaxi village. Bella Vista is a great spot on the beach to enjoy local food and fresh seafood dishes.

Porto Katsiki, on Lefkada Island, is considered not just one of the best beaches in the Ionian Islands, but in the entire world. The beach’s mix of waters, white cliffs with low vegetation, and magical views create an unforgettable experience. Initially, you’ll be struck by the seamless blend of beach, sky, and ocean in a way you’ve likely never seen before. Porto Katsiki is located only 35 km from Lefkada town, and you can easily get there by staying in the town of Nidri and renting a car or bike.

Agios Gordios in Corfu is renowned for its natural landscape, where vineyards and olive trees encircle the beach. In the late mornings or afternoons, you can join in swimming or a variety of water sports. There’s also a distinctive large rock emerging from the sea called “Ortholithi,” which is a must-see. You can reach Agios Gordios by driving through scenic roads lined with olive trees and vineyards.
