The Ionian Islands

THE IONIAN ISLANDS - In the tracks of Odysseus.

The Ionian Sea, the central part of the Mediterranean Sea, forms a watery field in which the universal tendencies converged, covering the navel of the earth with endless waves of events. The Ionian Sea, together with the Adriatic and Libyan Seas, forms an axis which divides the Mediterranean into West and East. It has intensely highlighted the apparent independence displayed by the peoples of the two basins. It has also facilitated the relations and communication between the West and the East. These factors of endless change and experience played major roles in the development of Mediterranean civilization.
