Ionian Greece Yacht Charter

Choosing a location in Greece for a luxury yacht charter will leave you utterly spoilt for choice. However, for the most spectacular food, the most fascinating history and the most varied and dramatic scenery, the Ionian islands simply cannot be beaten. The Ionian Islands cling to the verdant ‘green coast’ of Greece, where golden sands are flanked by olive and citrus groves.  There is something to suit all tastes and interests, from local culture and history, to watersports and fine dining; from relaxed beach-hopping, to vibrant nightlife and boutique designer shopping.

The Ionian Islands are one of the most sought out destinations in the Mediterranean for a luxury yacht holiday, thanks to their warm, gentle breezes and the close proximity of the islands to each other, allowing guests to adopt a relaxed approach and enjoy a week or two of blissful inter-island cruising.

Many caves, beaches and quiet local villages can be found on the shores of Corfu and Kefalonia, Ithaca and Paxi. Enjoy a long lunch with a carafe of white wine in a waterside taverna, then hop back on board your luxury yacht to cruise to the next beach for a refreshing dip in a deserted bay. With many of the bays being inaccessible by road or footpath, you may be the only visitors to some of the prettiest anchorages, making it easy to find your own exclusive and private spot to enjoy. Corfu Town is a must for culture vultures keen to explore its Venetian fortresses, whilst the harbours of Lefkada offer a traditionally warm, Greek welcome and quintessential tavernas look out over the glistening turquoise sea.

Since the days of Odysseus, sailors and yachtsmen have been drawn to the western shores of Greece. Surrounded by myth and legend, the Ionian Islands still harbour a distinct feeling of ancient mystery, which continues to draw seafarers to this day. The complex history and varied occupations of the region has unmistakably shaped the land and people, resulting in a rich culture and an excellent local cuisine, with its architecture, music and art all carrying the distinct flavours of those that have been before.
