The United Kingdom ranked as the main travel market for the Ionian islands in both 2019 and 2020. However, whereas over one million British travelers visited these Greek islands in 2019, the number of tourists decreased to 276 thousand in 2020, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Meanwhile, the number of travelers to the Ionian islands dropped remarkably across all the major inbound travel markets, as a result of the health crisis. The Ionian Islands include the islands of Zante, Corfu, Kefalonia, and Lefkada.
