Ionian Sea

With four golf courses overlooking the Ionian Sea, along with an array of pools, spas and restaurants, the complex provides a relaxing backdrop to Thursday's vote.

Last week it was conducting naval exercises with Italy in the Ionian Sea.

"It was not very deep - but it was very early in the season and it was stagnant and stayed over the south Ionian Sea for four, five days."

The storm began over the Ionian Sea and damaged a few other countries on its way to Libya, including Bulgaria and Turkey.

Local and foreign tourists watched an army helicopter collect water from the Ionian Sea to pour on the blaze, although most were continuing their vacations unhindered.
