Geography of ionian islands

There is a lot of rainfall in Ionia, so its trees are the most lush among the Greek islands. Olive trees and grape orchards everywhere seem to remind us that agriculture here accounts for a larger proportion of the national economy than tourism. However, the rainy weather also wet the mood of holiday tourists. From mid-September to mid-May, the weather in Ionia is unpredictable, and heavy rain will come soon.

Due to abundant rainfall and abundant arable land, we produce wood, fruit and flax, and also raise pigs, sheep and goats. The export products are seedless raisins, wine, cotton, salt, olives and fish. Food is basically self-sufficient. The port is located better than the port on the west coast of the Greek mainland, which is more convenient for international shipping. There are often strong earthquakes in the islands. In 1953, the towns and facilities on Kaifa Leanya Island, Zakingsos Island and Ithaca Island were severely damaged.
