In the heart of the Ionian Sea, a very short distance from mainland Greece, is a beautiful picturesque island, called Kastos. Kastos is the smallest inhabitable island of the Ionian Islands and is only 6 miles from Mytikas in Etoloakarnania, from which access to the island is provided by daily services. Our friend Marinos Charalampopoulos gives us a taste.
Polyaigos, also called "Polynesia of the Cyclades", is the largest uninhabited island in the Aegean and is considered the best-preserved island in the Mediterranean. It is part of the Natura 2000 program, designated as a Special Protection Zone, as it hosts a large number of rare endangered species of flora and fauna.
The archipelago of the Diapontian Islands in the northwest of Corfu, consists of 11 small islands which have become known as the "Othonoi Islands". And the three largest and most inhabitable islands of the complex may steal the show, however, there are many small uninhabited islets that are really worth looking into for a while and enjoying the peace and tranquility that they so generously offer. Marinos Charampopoulos takes us on a brief tour..
