Sail Greece - Ionian Sea Overview

Begin the adventure in the seaside resort town of Vounaki, set in front of the rugged Arkanika Mountains and spilling over into the Ionian Sea. If arriving early, why not take a hike to nearby cliffside villages, visit a local winery or find a comfy spot on a beach and get into holiday mode. In the late afternoon, sail away to Lefkas and throw down the anchor for the first night at sea.

Take to the open sea in the direction of Paxos. This tiny island is blessed with aquamarine waters, pristine beaches, beguiling villages and charming olive groves. And as few tourists come here, the serenity is palatable.

Set sail back to the Greek mainland, soaking up the sun while relaxing onboard and enjoying stunning views of this beautiful part of Greece. Spend the afternoon exploring Syvota, a small fishing village set among blue waters and rolling hills. Spend time on one of the stunning beaches or indulge in delicious Greek fare at a restaurant overlooking the water.

One of the larger Ionian Islands, Corfu has something for everyone. The beaches are magnificent, traditional villages spill over with charm, the cuisine is delectable and there is a myriad of sights ranging from castles to olive groves to enjoy.

Greet new shipmates before setting sail to Parga. Swim in the warm waters of Parga Bay and perhaps soak up the beauty of the town and surrounding area from the heights of its impressive castle.

Skirt around the coastline of Greece to mainland Vonitsa. Meander down the city’s wide promenades and visit a nearby islet. Check out the ruins of an ancient Venetian castle, visit local churches filled with beautiful paintings or explore the Byzantine church of St Sofia. Then, settle into a waterside cafe and watch the sun set over the Amvrakikos Gulf.

Enjoy time exploring the Greek coast from the water before docking in incredible Meganisi. Largely unspoilt, this small island has heavenly beaches, a relaxing atmosphere and a town steeped in tradition.

After a final burst of sailing, arrive in port at Vounaki, a popular resort town. Choose from a range of exhilarating water sports on offer, dine on succulent seafood or take a tour of a local winery before the tour concludes.
