Ionian Islands

Corfu, Kefalonia, Zakynthos — lush green islands with sheltered turquoise bays.

The Ionian Islands lie off the western coast of Greece, offering a distinctly different character to the Aegean. Lush green landscapes, Venetian architecture, and sheltered turquoise bays make this an ideal cruising ground for gulet charters. From the cosmopolitan elegance of Corfu to the dramatic cliffs of Zakynthos and the pristine beaches of Kefalonia, the Ionian provides calm waters and reliable afternoon breezes perfect for relaxed sailing.
