| | Ionian Islands : Introduction |
| | The Ionian Islands include Corfu (Kerkira), Paxos (Paxoi), Levkas (Lefkas, Lefkada), Ithaka (Ithaki), Kefalonia (Kefallinia, Cephalonia), and Zakinthos (Zakynthos, Zante); the seventh, Kithira (Cythera, Cerigo), is linked only as a government administrative unit. | | | The islands were recolonized by people from the city-states on the Greek mainland, starting in the 8th century B.C. The Peloponnesian War, in fact, can be traced back to a quarrel between Corinth and its colony at Corcyra (Corfu) that led to Athens's interference and eventually the full-scale war. | | | The Ionian Islands then became a protectorate of the British; although the islands did experience peace and prosperity, they were in fact a colony. |
