Unforgettable yachting holidays in Ionian area
The Ionian offers calm seas, green islands, and short hops. Base in Corfu, Lefkada, or Preveza. Summer brings a steady afternoon breeze. Routes suit families and mixed crews. Anchorages hold well in sand.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We plan routes, moorings, and fuel stops. We brief Lefkas Canal bridge times, no-anchor zones, and fallback harbors. Reserve in high season and arrive by early afternoon.

What you can expect to see
Corfu, Paxos, and Antipaxos
Start from Gouvia Marina or Corfu Town. Walk the Old Fortress, then sail south. Paxos gives you Gaios town quay, Lakka’s turquoise bay, and Mongonissi for shelter. Antipaxos has Voutoumi and Vrika with white sand and clear water. Set the anchor in sand and back down hard. Weed patches need extra care. Watch ferry wash near Gaios.
Lefkada, Meganisi, and Sivota
Transit Lefkas Canal at bridge openings on the hour. Call on VHF and keep speed low. Lefkada’s east side offers easy holding in Nidri and Vlycho. Meganisi has deep, quiet inlets around Vathi and Spartochori. Drop a line ashore if it gets busy. Sivota on Lefkada has fuel, water, and simple repairs. The west coast beaches, like Porto Katsiki, are day stops only in settled weather.
Kefalonia, Ithaca, and Zakynthos
Fiskardo on Kefalonia is a classic Med-moor with lively quay life. Sami has full provisioning and access to Melissani Cave. On Ithaca, Vathy, Kioni, and Frikes offer good shelter. Expect katabatic puffs at night, so use extra scope. In Zakynthos, visit Navagio as a day stop only when seas are calm. Respect turtle zones in Laganas Bay with slow speeds and marked limits. The Blue Caves on the north tip work best in clear, settled conditions.
