8 reasons to choose the Ionian islands for your next catamaran and sailing holiday:

  • A mild climate, with good sailing conditions from April to November.
  • One of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean for skippered sailing holidays and flotillas.
  • Discover the culture and heritage of the Ionian Islands by sailing, with visits to medieval castles, monasteries and numerous museums.
  • Admire the elusive monk seals and loggerhead turtles native to the area.
  • Visit one of Europe's main kitesurfing and windsurfing centres, with dedicated areas and facilities for all possible water sports.
  • Taste the special local delicacies of Ionian Greece, such as -Pastitsádais, a traditional Greek pasta dish prepared on the island of Corfu, or Lefkadítiki ladópita (oil cake) which comes from Lefkada.
  • The rolling hills of olive trees and cypresses make the Ionian vegetation lush, very different from the rest of Greece.
  • Their rugged coastlines are truly unique, the result of seismic activity and its ability to change landscapes enough to separate them from central Greece.
