Ionian Sea

With over 3000 islands, Greece is probably the most diverse sailing area in the world. Anchorages with crystal-clear water, sleepy fishing villages and lively town harbors, historic sites and tavernas with their traditional cuisine and a wide selection of fresh, locally grown ingredients make a sailing trip in Greece an unforgettable experience.

The routes described below are examples and are not necessarily “on schedule”. Depending on the weather conditions or for safety reasons, there may be deviations.

Safety comes first and then the wishes of our guests, so that the final route is often only determined during the course of the trip.

 

If you prefer to be completely private, the entire yacht is also available for private charter. With this option, check-in and check-out are possible on any day of the week and the route is tailored to your individual wishes. Request availability 

      Ionian Sea - Ambracian Gulf - Gulf of Patras and Corinth

At the start of the season and in the fall, we set off from Preveza and Corfu for trips in the Ambracian Gulf and through the Ionian Islands. The area is just coming out of hibernation and the big tourist crowds are not yet or no longer in sight. The Ambracian Gulf in particular is still a real insider tip, largely untouched by mass tourism. There are still some real dream bays here that we have all to ourselves. 

As it is almost completely surrounded by land and the water depths are quite shallow throughout, it is a very sheltered area and the water warms up with the first rays of sunshine, so that a dip in the sea is possible even in spring.

 


 

To the west of Preveza, the Ionian Islands stretch from north to south. The best known are Corfu, Paxos, Lefkas, Skorpios, Kefalonia, Ithaca and Zakynthos.

We sail to the most beautiful places and best anchorages on these islands and also show you some of the lesser-known but no less enchanting islets, such as Meganisi, Kalomos or Atokos.

Depending on the weather forecast, the sheltered location and short distances in this area mean that we can always sail an optimal trip, during which you can of course also discover the local gastronomy or great places ashore. Look forward to our tips.

 


When the harbors and bays in the Ionian Sea start to fill up in mid-May, we set off from Preveza and head for the Gulf of Patras. This 12-day one-way trip takes us through the southern Ionian Islands to the Peloponnese and on to Patras. We have many interesting stopovers, including at less crowded anchorages and places. Be curious! 

It is also possible to check in or out at an intermediate destination on this tour, as there are regular ferry and bus connections between the islands and the mainland.

We sail a one-week round trip in the Gulf of Patras, during which we visit the sights of this beautiful region.   

Highlights include the crossing under the Rio Andirio Bridge (the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world), the traditional town of Nafpaktos and the charming village of Galaxidi. A shore excursion to Delphi or ancient Olympia is a must on this tour. 

 


In late summer, we sail two exclusive one-way trips from the Peloponnese to Corfu. Our journey starts in Kalamata, known for its delicious olives and impressive old town. 
The first stopover is at the foot of the historic fortress of Methoni, which towers majestically over the sea. A perfect place to immerse yourself in history and enjoy the view.
We continue to Pylos, a picturesque harbor town with a rich history and impressive landscapes. 
From here we set sail for our first destination, Zakynthos. Particular highlights here are the turtle beach in Laganas in the south and the blue caves in the north of the island.
Next stop: Kefalonia. A visit to the Melissani Cave - with a “gondola ride” on the cave lake - is an impressive experience that you should not miss. From here we head for Ithaca, the home of the legendary Odysseus. Visit the ancient ruins and let yourself be enchanted by the mythology. As the voyage progresses, our course takes us across the Ambracian Gulf to the northern Ionian Islands. After a night at anchor in Paxos, we head for Corfu, which will enchant you with its rich history and picturesque villages. Look forward to an evening in the alleyways of the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

 


The routes are planned in such a way that we can always make a longer stop, for example for a shore excursion or a dive. Perhaps you would prefer to explore historical sites or simply relax with a typical local ouzo or homemade lemonade in a quaint street café. 

Route suggestions are non-binding. Changes to the route and / or ports are possible due to navigational needs, safety reasons, weather, or local developments. The decision rests with the organizer and / or the responsible skipper.
