Ionian Islands [SEP] Introduction
The Ionian Islands (Modern Greek: , ; Ancient Greek, Katharevousa: , ) are a group of islands in Greece. They are traditionally called the Heptanese ("Seven Islands"; , "Heptanēsa" or , "Heptanēsos"; ), but the group includes many smaller islands as well as the seven principal ones. As a distinct historic region they date to the centuries-long Venetian rule, which preserved them from becoming part of the Ottoman Empire, and created a distinct cultural identity with many Italian influences. The Ionian Islands became part of the modern Greek state in 1864. Administratively today they belong to the Ionian Islands Region except for Kythera, which belongs to the Attica Region.
