The Ionian Islands are traditionally called the Seven Islands but the group includes many smaller islands as well as the seven principal ones which are, from north to south:
Kerkyra usually known as Corfu in English Paxi also known as Paxos in English Lefkada also known as Lefkas in English Ithaki usually known as Ithaca in English Kefallonia often known as Kefalonia/Cephalonia/Kefallinia in English Zakynthos sometimes known as Zante in English Kythira sometimes known as Cerigo in English
The six northern islands are off the west coast of Greece, in the Ionian Sea. The seventh island, Kythira, is off the southern tip of the Peloponnesus, the southern part of the Greek mainland. It should be noted that Kythira is not part of the periphery of Ionian Islands as it is included in the district of Attiki.

In recent decades the islands have lost much of their population through emigration and the decline of their traditional industries, fishing and marginal agriculture. Today their major industry is tourism. Specifically Corfu, with its magnificent harbour, splendid scenery and wealth of picturesque ruins and castles, is a favourite stopping place for cruise liners. British visitors in particular are attracted through having read Gerald Durrell's evocative book My Family and Other Animals (1956), which describes his childhood on Kerkyra in the 1930s. Also, the novel and movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin is set in Kefallonia.
