Where to sail in Ionian Island?

Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Corfu, Lefkada and Paxi are the famed Ionian Greek islands. With their elegant nature and splendid sea, they are among the most favorite routes for yacht charter in Greece.

1. Kefalonia
Being the quietest of Ionian islands, Kefalonia welcomes the visitors with its pristine beaches and dense forests. Despite having numerous beaches, two are the most famous, Myrthos and Petani. If you plan to charter a yacht in the Ionian Islands, you must swim in these waters. Melissani Cave, also known as the Cave of the Nymphs in Greek Mythology, attracts visitors from all around the world.

2. Zakynthos
Zakynthos, where agriculture and tourism are two main sources of income for the locals, is named “the Flower of the Levant” for its fertile lands. It is also one of the egg-laying zones of the Caretta Caretta. Besides its nature, Zakynthos also offers a colorful nightlife to its visitors. Island’s local people produce their wines and Island's cuisine is inspired by Italian cuisine. We recommend you taste the island's delicious local food and wines.

3. Ithaca
A unique combination of blue and green, Ithaca is known as the home of Odysseus in Greek mythology. Odysseus tried to return to his homeland after the Trojan War and had many adventures until he returned home. The island has many beautiful beaches and most famous of these are Sarakiniko, Filiatro, and Gidaki. The island is flooded by yacht holidayers every year due to its natural beauties and historical texture.

4. Corfu
Containing overtones from Italian and French culture, Corfu is one of the first islands opened for tourism in Greece. It is an island where the urban areas are crowded while the shoreline is dedicated to vacationers. Corfu, universally appreciated among yacht cruise enthusiasts, has Venice and Paris like streets and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. According to legends, those who swim in Canal D’Amour, one of the island’s famous beaches, will find their soulmate.

5. Lefkada
Because of the bridge connecting it to mainland, over time Lefkada became more popular among the Greeks. Its endless and windy beaches made the island ideal for various water sports and diving. Once you drop the anchor, you can rent a car or motorcycle and make a road trip to discover the beauties of the island. We recommend you swim in its famed Egremni and Porto Katsiki beaches.
