Yachting Ionian Sea:

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.

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.

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 Sea 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.
