Ionian Islands: Corfu to Zakynthos Charter Itinerary

Ionian Islands: Corfu to Zakynthos Itinerary

Ionian Islands: Corfu to Zakynthos Yacht Charter
The green, gentle side of Greece, a week down the Ionian chain from cosmopolitan Corfu to the sea caves of Zakynthos. Softer and lusher than the Aegean, these islands offer sheltered sailing, olive-cloaked hills and water of an electric blue. Expect Venetian old towns and Homeric legend, hidden harbours and luminous caves, some of the loveliest cruising in the Mediterranean.

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

Corfu

Begin on Corfu, the most cosmopolitan of the Ionian islands, where Venetian, French and British rule left an elegant old town of shuttered mansions and arcaded lanes. Explore ashore, then sail out to anchor for a first swim.

Day 2

Paxos & Antipaxos

Cruise south to tiny Paxos, an olive-cloaked idyll of three pretty harbours and sea caves cut into white cliffs. Just below lies Antipaxos, whose beaches glow an unreal turquoise. Anchor, swim, and drift through a slow, beautiful day.
Day 3

Lefkada

Sail on to Lefkada, ringed by some of the finest beaches in Greece, where sheer white cliffs drop to shining blue bays. Anchor beneath the famous shore of Porto Katsiki, swim in the clear water, and take in the dramatic coast.
Day 4

Meganisi

A short hop brings Meganisi, a quiet green island of deeply indented bays and sea caves that feels a world away. Nose into a sheltered inlet, swim from the deck, and enjoy an unhurried afternoon far from any crowd.
Day 5

Ithaca

Cruise to Ithaca, legendary home of Odysseus, an island of steep green hills and hidden coves little changed by time. Anchor in a deep natural harbour, swim in the clear water, and feel the pull of a place steeped in myth.
Day 6

Kefalonia

Sail to Kefalonia, largest of the Ionians, a place of dramatic scenery from the underground lake of Melissani to the dazzling white pebbles of Myrtos. Anchor off a spectacular beach and give the day to the water.
Day 7

Zakynthos

The voyage ends at Zakynthos, its western coast ringed by towering cliffs and caves of luminous blue. Anchor off the celebrated Shipwreck Beach, swim in the glowing water, and toast a week down the Ionian chain.
