Greek Sailing Holidays
Why choose the Ionian Sea for your sailing holiday?
The Ionian Islands on the west of mainland Greece include the beautiful islands of Lefkas, Cephalonia, Ithica, Meganissi and Kalamos. Slightly further afield (but perfectly attainable on a weeks charter) are Corfu and Zakynthos. These are the most beautiful islands in the mediteranean!
The Ionian Sea is the perfect cruising ground for fun and relaxed sailing holidays. It really does offer something for all. The winds are not as strong as in some parts of Greece, and will typically be of Force 3/Force 4 strength in the afternoons. At night the winds usually die right down leaving the water looking like a milll pond.
The lie of the islands, creates a very protected area with little or no sea swell, which results in the perfect area for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing on your own beautiful yacht surrounded by the most perfect scenery. With no tides or currents to worry about, the sailing is technically relatively simple, allowing you time to enjoy your holiday.
Each evening you will be able to moor up in a small village on the town quay or anchor off in your own deserted bay for the night. You will never be far from a friendly taverna, where you will be able to sample the delicious Greek food and enjoy the wonderful hospitality unique to the Ionian Islands.
Days at sea can be as long or as short as you wish, as the islands in the Ionian are close together and there are so many beautiful bays to anchor in for relaxed lunch time stops, before sailing to the next night time stop. We can advise on many suitable itineraries which will fit with your requirements.
