Ionian Sea Charter Itinerary

Ionian Sea Itinerary

Ionian Sea Yacht Charter
A week through the Ionian Sea, the green and gentle side of Greece, from cosmopolitan Corfu down to the caves of Zakynthos. Softer and lusher than the Aegean, these islands offer sheltered sailing, olive-clad hills and electric-blue water. Expect Homeric legend and undiscovered isles, some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean and unhurried island life, a beautiful and relaxed voyage.

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 to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Corfu

Welcome to the Emerald Isle of Greece. Once a little-known island, Corfu has blossomed into one of the loveliest of the Ionian, with a Venetian old town and green hills. Explore the town, then set sail.

Day 2

Lefkada

Rumour has it Lefkada has the best beaches in the Mediterranean, and we leave you to judge. Steep white cliffs drop to shining blue bays such as Porto Katsiki. Anchor beneath them and swim in the clear water.
Day 3

Kastos & Meganisi

A true rarity in the modern world, Kastos is a beautifully undiscovered island with scarcely fifty residents, and neighbouring Meganisi hides deep bays and sea caves. Anchor in a quiet inlet and savour the calm.
Day 4

Ithaca

Cruise to Ithaca, home of Odysseus and perhaps Homer, an island unspoilt by the modern world. Anchor in a deep natural harbour, swim in the clear water, and feel the pull of a place steeped in myth.
Day 5

Kefalonia

Sail to Kefalonia, largest of the Ionian group, with exquisite pristine beaches along a stunning coast, from Myrtos to Melissani. Anchor off a spectacular beach and give the day to the water.
Day 6

Zakynthos

Cruise to Zakynthos, said to have been chosen by Apollo and Artemis for their holidays, and it lives up to the billing. Anchor off the celebrated Shipwreck Beach beneath towering cliffs, and swim in the glowing water.
Day 7

Paxos

Sail to Paxos, an island of olive groves, sleepy villages and an unhurried lifestyle, a place of utter relaxation. Anchor off a quiet harbour, swim in a sea cave, and drift through a beautiful slow day.
Day 8

Corfu

An early passage brings you back to Corfu and the end of the charter. Spend the last morning in the old town or a final swim in a green cove, and toast a week down the Ionian.
