The Ionian Islands Greece

The Ionian sailing season is from April to October, July and August being the most popular months particularly for Flotilla Sailing, so you need to book really early for these months. Direct flights from the UK start in May and continue to October. Visitors, who are able to travel overland, or via Athens, when there are no direct flights, can benefit from a sailing holiday with quieter harbours and anchorages, a pleasant climate, good sailing and generous yacht charter discounts.

The sailing area extends from Corfu in the North to Zakynthos in the South, it provides perfect yacht charter sailing for the less experienced skipper, placid and predictable for anyone with a reasonable level of competence, yet still challenging and interesting for the experienced sailor. Included in the sailing area are the islands of Meganisi Kalamos, Kastos and the larger islands of Kefallinia and Ithaca (all approximately within a two or three hour cruise). The Ionian still offers comparatively inexpensive sailing, once you have left the yacht base there are few harbour or overnight charges to pay.

Yachtsun yachts are based on Lefkas Island, charters start on Saturdays & Sundays. There are direct flights from Manchester and Gatwick to Preveza Airport, which is just a thirty minute taxi ride from Lefkas Island. We also have  yachts at Corfu where charters start on Saturdays & Mondays in line with flights from UK airports.

In the Ionian we offer a selection of yachts for Yacht Charter or Flotilla also Day Sailing  on Beneteau First 211s and Dinghy Sailing  at the  Meganisi Island Sailing Centre - the choice is yours!

 Yachtsun Island and Sail'n'Stay Holidays are on Lefkas Island  at a Nidri hotel or on the much quieter Meganisi Island, at a Hotel or Apartment.

To allow you total flexibility with your travel arrangements, flights are not included in Yachtsun prices, but if you wish, we will be pleased to organise these for you with our associate company:
