Ionian
The Ionian Islands on the west of mainland Greece include the beautiful islands
of Lefkas,
Cephalonia, Ithica, Meganissi, Kastos and Kalamos. Slightly further afield (but
perfectly attainable on a weeks charter) are the islands of Paxos and
Corfu.
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.

Yachting Ionian | Lefkas:
Lefkada is the only Ionian island linked to mainland Greece. A swing bridge gives easy access by road, with the airport of Preveza about a 30 minute drive. More visitors are being attracted yearly as the airport expands slowly and new developments pop up. The island and the surrounding area has a lot to offer - anything from Yachting, windsurfing, cycling, scuba-diving, walking, exploring ancient archaeological sites or just that lazy beach holiday. You will probably find some of the most picturesque views around, looking out from the calmer waters of the east coast overlooking the famous Onassis island of Scorpios, the other islands and mainland Greece. On the west coast of Lefkada you will find beautiful beaches where you can watch spectacular sunsets.
Yachting Ionian | Lefkada: The Seven Islands from the
Ionian sea
(Greek: Eptanisa) listed
from North to South are:
· Corfu (capital)
· Paxos
· Lefkada
· The Inland Sea
· Ithaca
· Cephalonia
· Zakynthos (Zante)
· Kythera
Yachting Ionian | Corfu:
Corfu is situated only 1 nm off the coast of Albania and the Greek region of Epirus and offers gentle green uplands in the south and rugged limestone hills in the north, rising to 906 m in the double peak of Mt Pantokrator. The references to Corfu from Homer to the present day praise the island as a lush green paradise spinning a soothing spell over all who visit it. In an age of package holidays the Corfu magic is continuously battered by jets winging in with yet more holidaymakers -and far, far more go to Corfu than to the rest of the Ionian - so it is surprising to find there are still charming and beautiful places on the island.
Corfu (Greek: Kerkyra) is the most northerly of the Ionian islands. Most
important ports are:
· Corfu Town
· Gouvia Marina
· Petriti village
· Paleokastritsa Port
· Ag. Stefanos Port
· Agni Bay
Yachting Ionian and subregions:
There are 1400 islands of which 169 are inhabited so one can easily find what one seeks. Whether one wants to escape with a Yachting boat to an isolated island or to an island full of life and entertainment or even to explore the remains of some of Europe's oldest civilizations, it is all there for you. For most of it is the lure of sand, sea and year round of sunshine weather, which is the biggest attraction. Exploring with a Yachting yacht the 13,676 km of coastlines, one can definitely find the beaches of his dreams: long white sandy beaches with turquoise crystal waters, small beaches surrounded by huge cliffs or pine and palm trees forests, beaches with waters as if bleach waters was mixed with the blue color of the Mediterranean.
