Ionian Islands

Why Charter a Yacht in the Ionian?

The Ionian Sea is Greece's gentler side — lush green islands, sheltered turquoise bays, and calm waters that make it ideal for families and first-time charterers. The Venetian architecture of Corfu, the dramatic cliffs of Zakynthos, and the hidden coves of Paxos create a sailing experience unlike anywhere in the Mediterranean.

With shorter distances between islands and consistently calm conditions, the Ionian is perfect for relaxed island-hopping. Your crew will guide you to secret swimming spots, waterfront tavernas serving the freshest seafood, and anchorages where you'll be the only yacht in sight.

Which Ionian Islands Should You Visit?

Venetian old town (UNESCO), lush hillsides, luxury resorts. Gateway to the Ionian.

Largest Ionian island. Myrtos Beach, Melissani Cave, Captain Corelli's island.
