Ionian Islands
White sunny beaches and turquoise waters
The wind and sailing conditions in the Ionian Sea are ideal and predictable. From May to September the wind blows from North-West at Force 2-5 arriving around noon, and calming down before sunset. In the morning it is also noticed that a light Easterly wind may blow at a force of 1-2. During the months of July and August, the above said winds can blow a little stronger than usual. The weather conditions in the area are extremely favorable for a relaxing and trouble-free sailing turning the area to a highly recommended place for family and smooth sailing even in July and August – a time that winds in other regions in Greece are stronger if not uncomfortable.

IONIAN Map
The Ionian Islands located on the western side of mainland Greece, are seven main islands (in Greek Eptanissa – seven islands) that distinguish from many of the Greek islands by their fertile land (blanketed with olive groves and cypress trees sustained by the winter rains) and clear blue waters. The mixture of different civilizations and cultures is harmoniously welded together into one piece that is undoubtedly Greek, in a complex of islands where the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean can be explored.
Talking about the nice weather conditions in Corfu and the vicinity, trying a sailing catamaran for the first time, Corfu and Lefkas area and all the Ionian islands may be the right choice to check a catamaran compared to a mono-hull sailing yacht – doesn’t mean that a sailing yacht is not a good option thought.
Most charter companies and fleet operators are based in CORFU, Gouvia Marina, about 20 minutes drive from Corfu International Airport.
