“Happy is the man, I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the Aegean sea.” ~ Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
We spent the last weeks of August in Greece, in the Ionian Islands.
We took a ferry boat from Igoumenitsa, a coastal city in the northwestern part of mainland Greece, to Kerkyra.
There is a bakery at the port in Igoumenitsa where I had the most amazing spinach pie.
We took the ninety minute ferry ride to Corfu under the bright moon light.
Kerkyra is an island in the Ionian Islands. Because the Venetians sieged and occupied Kerkyra from the medieval times and into the seventeenth century, the city’s architecture is distinctly Italian and not Greek.
Using Kerkyra as our base, we took ferry boats to other islands in the Ionian Sea. I will try to supplement this post with pictures of the other islands when I am able.
