The Ionian Island of Ithaca’s Romantic Little Haven

Lazaretto: The pine-covered islet of Ithaca that became a vaunted destination for tying the knot

Newsroom March 20 12:32

Tiny and uninhabited, Lazaretto holds its own history and stands as one of the most romantic spots in the Ionian Sea, popular for weddings.

At first glance, Lazaretto may appear to be just another island in the Ionian Islands. However, its lush green landscape, strategic geographical location, and charming little church make it a truly romantic destination in the Ionian Sea.

Today, the islet’s promotion as a tourist destination has made it internationally recognized. Thanks to its operational chapel, Lazaretto has gained a modern appeal, becoming one of the most sought-after locations in the Ionian Sea for couples seeking a truly special venue to celebrate their weddings.
