The initial purpose being the touristic promotion of the Ionian Islands, it has now evolved as a platform for cultural promotion of the unique identity of the place and the people. Unique historical buildings, picturesque beaches, romantic sunshines are just a few of the elements that can be seen in this virtual world.
