islands including hotspots like Corfu, Kephalonia and Zakynthos. Climb on board

Activity
sailing holidays can provide an exhilarating adventure with added
exploration. Sailing off the shores of the Ionian Islands, you can be as active
as you like. From taking a week long sailing course to utilising existing
skills to man the sails, it’s never too late to learn how to sail.
Cool off in the crystal waters and take in
your tranquil settings. Soak up the sun’s rays whilst chilling out on board.
Believed to be named after a beautiful nymph,
Korkyra, Poseidon’s love interest in Greek mythology, you can see why he wanted
to name the island after her. Sail into Paleokastritsa to admire the backdrop of the lush greenery – the most
prized beauty spot makes it a perfect stop off for a day trip.
Be sure to
visit Navagio beach if you stop off in Zakynthos. Accessible only by boat, it
is surrounded by turquoise waters. Wander to the observation deck to see the
shipwreck that the bay was named after. Marathonissi in the south is also worth
a visit for a taste of Tropicana.
For an
experience you won’t forget, drop into the Melissani caves in Kephalonia, the
largest of the Ionian Islands. Be sure to check out Ithaca – where the Greek epic
poet, Homer, based the tale of Odysseus. Embrace the beauty and culture before
climbing aboard your yacht and dropping anchor.
Whether you’re
an experienced seamen or fancy learning a new skill, the Greek Ionians are a
perfect spot that will not only be a picturesque back drop but will also
provide the beauty, culture and adventure for any holiday goer.
