The Ionian Islands have an annual average of rainfall three times higher than that of the Aegean islands, among which are the Cyclades islands.
For that reason, Ithaca and all the Ionian islands are particularly verdant, with dense vegetation, large forests covering a great amount of the total area and many fertile plains.
It is therefore a totally different landscape than the usually image lots of people are expecting to see when visiting a Greek island, believing all are similar to the Cyclades, arid and clear of any vegetation.
The Ionian climate gives to the Ionian Islands a unique and magical landscape consisting in an astonishing combination of verdant trees and vegetation and crystalline emerald green or deep blue waters.

The wind in Ithaca, and in all the Ionian islands, is not as strong as in the Cyclades, for there is no meltemia (north winds) during the summer time.
