The Charter Experience
Charter from Lefkas and explore the Ionian Islands at your own pace. Anchor in crystalline bays, visit characterful waterfront villages, and enjoy the region's consistent northerly winds that make for engaging sailing. The Ionian's protected waters and short passages between islands suit both confident crews and those building experience. Evening swims from the transom, quiet anchorages in Meganisi or Skorpios, and the freedom of a bareboat charter define this region's appeal for discerning sailors.
Suggested Itinerary
Depart Lefkas for the Ionian's eastern circuit. Sail to Meganisi for sheltered anchorage and traditional tavernas, then continue south to the Skorpios group and Ithaca's mountain scenery. Consider a passage to Kefalonia or northward to Paxos, depending on wind and your crew's preference. Quiet bays between islands offer swimming and rest days, whilst larger anchorages provide provisioning and evening entertainment.
