The Ionian Sea offers one of the most popular sailing cruises in the Mediterranean. With starting ports in Corfu and Lefkas, this region offers unique sailing routes and idyllic islands that attract sailing enthusiasts from all over the world.
The Ionian Sea region is divided into two main areas: In the north, sailing yachts depart from Corfu and head towards the Greek mainland and the islands of Paxos and Antipaxos. In the south, from Lefkas, they head to the famous Ionian Islands such as Ithaca, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos. Both regions are easily accessible by plane, with airports in Corfu and Preveza, just 20 to 30 minutes from the respective ports.

The ideal travel time for a sailing cruise in the Ionian Sea is from April to October. During these months, a Mediterranean climate prevails with hot, dry summers. Especially between May and September, it is practically rain-free, creating perfect conditions for sailors. At the same time, the Ionian Islands are among the greenest regions in Greece, making the landscape particularly appealing.
Whether in popular harbors like Fiskardo on Kefalonia or the large bay of Lakka on Paxos, the Ionian Sea offers both lively and secluded anchorages. In Fiskardo, it is advisable to arrive by noon to secure a spot in the harbor. The picturesque town has made a name for itself with its historic buildings and charming character.
But there are also quiet, secluded places like Kaltsonision, a small island that remains almost untouched by sailors. Bays like Sarakiniko Beach also offer the luxury of an excellent restaurant, away from crowds and tourist masses.
