The Ionian is the gentler face of Greece u2014 greener, softer and more sheltered than the Aegean, its islands close enough to string together in a single unhurried week. This route runs from Corfu in the north to Zakynthos in the south, pairing the harbours that carry the region’s history with the coves that reward arriving by sea.
You move between two registers. There is the culture u2014 Venetian old towns, hilltop villages, the ruins and legends of Ithaca u2014 and there is the water: white-cliffed beaches, sea caves and anchorages best kept to yourself. Each is a short passage from the next.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Ionian; the rest we tailor to you.
