Ionian Sea - a paradise for sailors and motorboaters

The Ionian Sea and the Ionian Islands, located to the west of the Greek mainland, are among the most popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean. The archipelago includes Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Ithaca - each with its own unique charm. Turquoise waters, green landscapes and dreamy bays make the region a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Boaters in particular appreciate the well-protected sailing area with numerous safe anchorages.

Perfect conditions for boaters

The wind conditions in the summer months are ideal: constant, but not too strong. The so-called maestral, a thermal north-westerly wind, ensures perfect sailing conditions. Motorboaters also get their money’s worth - the short distances between the islands allow for relaxed island hopping. Many bays are only accessible from the water and offer unspoilt nature and crystal-clear water.

The infrastructure for water sports enthusiasts is excellent. In harbours such as Gouvia on Corfu or Nidri on Lefkada, there are modern marinas with all the necessary facilities. Diving fans will discover fascinating underwater landscapes, including caves, wrecks and colourful schools of fish. Stand-up paddling, windsurfing and kayaking are also popular and possible in many places.

Island hopping with a pleasure factor

The region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine. Guests can enjoy freshly caught fish and local specialities in small tavernas right on the water. Boaters interested in culture will find numerous historical sights on the islands - such as Venetian fortresses, monasteries and ancient ruins. The hospitable locals make your stay even more enjoyable.

Another advantage: the Ionian Islands are less affected by mass tourism than other regions of Greece. If you love nature, appreciate freedom on the water and want to be far away from crowded beaches, this is the right place for you. The region is suitable for experienced sailors as well as beginners.

Freedom on the water - for beginners and professionals

Whether a leisurely cruise with the family or a sporting adventure - every water enthusiast will find their perfect spot in the Ionian Sea. Numerous charter companies offer boats with or without a skipper. One-way trips between Corfu and Zakynthos are also possible. Anyone who has been here once usually returns - because the beauty of the Ionian Islands unfolds especially from the waterside.
