Greece

Ionian


Steady winds, sheltered waters, and the gentlest introduction to Greek sailing — Corfu, Lefkas, Kefalonia.

Introduction

Where you go may depend on what base you choose to start from and whether you have been here before. We have used local experts to try and help you decide which Ionian Sailing Itinerary is the right one for you, depending on your own needs and personal preferences.

South Ionian Sailing Itinerary. Noticeably easier, we recommend our South Ionian Sailing Itinerary for our new, less experienced sailors; but don’t get us wrong this destination is nowhere near boring. With numerous anchorages providing a new experience everyday, you will be sure to return home with more than a handful stories to share.

North Ionian Sailing Itinerary. Should you choose this Ionian Sailing Itinerary, Corfu to Preveza, you will find slightly trickier sailing conditions and majestic views with hues of greens and blues mixing together in idyllic anchorages away from the crowds. Given it’s longer distances between the islands, this area is also ideal for mile-building.
