Possible Italian/Greek barter over Ionians and Dodecanese?

It could have been possible, let's say between the peace of Versailles and Ethiopian war, a settlement between Italy and Greece so the first would have gained the Ionian islands and the second the Dodecanese? Or this idea would be unthinkable since the start?
 
I don't really know enough about the subject at hand, but even though it seems like a logical exchange of territory for a permanent exchange, the Fascists seemed to want to hold the Dodecanese as a staging area against Greece in future. However, if we use the interwar period pre-Mussolini, I guess you could have a situation whereby the Ionian islands are seen as more valuable due to their position at the southern end of the Adriatic, thus being able to hem in Yugoslav shipping. Regardless of who comes to power, the Italian interwar government is most likely going to be actively opposing the status quo under the vittoria mutilata.

Very doubtfoul, as we look Istria and Trieste as irredente land, the Greeks look to the Dodecanese in the same manner...were just less vocal due to the clear disparity of force and the only real real attempt to get them was during Versailles and with an agreement with Italy about a neutral zone between Albania and Greece and a port in Smyrne.
An exchange between the the two is realistic as giving up Sicily for obtaining Corsica
 
Italian Fascists had this idea of Britain giving Cyprus to Greece, and Greece giving the Ionian islands to Italy in return. As for what Britain would get.. uhh... peace?

It's was more a post-world war II settlement thing, give something to Greece to compensate the territorial loss...a method to keep a puppet happy; so in this vision, yes the British will get peace.
