There are honestly so many amazing places to visit in the Ionian that it would take months to explore them all.
Let’s start with the basics.
The Ionian Islands are essentially divided into two parts. The North and the South.
To explore the North Ionian you will start your sailing holiday from Corfu in Gouvia Marina. Highlights of the North Ionian Sailing Itinerary include Lakka bay in Paxos, the famous, sandy Voutoumi beach in Antipaxos, Parga and Sivota on mainland Greece, as well as the untouched by tourists masses Othonoi and Ereikoussa at the North of Corfu.
For a sailing holiday in the South Ionian, you will need to pick your boat up from Lefkas (also known as Lefkada). From there, you can explore the nearby Meganisi, swim where Jackie Kennedy Onassis used to swim in Scorpios island, visit the famous, colorful Fiscardo in Kefalonia and of course the legendary Ithaca, the island of Odysseus.
Should you choose to opt for a longer duration yacht charter of at least two weeks, you could combine the North and South Ionian routes and get the best of both worlds.
