Sailing Oyster Holidays on Lefkada island greece, Ionian - Home

The Ionian Sea lies along the west coast of Greece, right from Corfu via Lefkas till Kythira. Besides the seven prominent Ionian islands Corfu, Paxos, Lefkas, Ithaca, Cephalonia and Zakynthos, there are several little islands, complete with picturesque villages, fishing harbors, stunning beaches and bays, as well as numerous uninhabited islands, like the Dragoneras group off the shore of Astakos.

Experience the perfect blend of sun and sea, dreamy islands, full of antique and medieval monuments, and magnificent coasts. With no point in the Ionian Sea located farther than 30 meters from a shielded harbor, the area experiences ideal weather conditions for a refreshing family sailing experience. In summer, “Maistro”, a comfortable wind from the north-west, which is aligned with solid high-pressure weather, blows across the Ionian Sea.

Appearing in the later bit of morning, it flows at an ideal strength, not increasing 5 Beaufort, allowing you to doze off as you enjoy the sunset. These conditions are very unlike the “Meltemi” on the Aegean Sea and include no agitation. Since the Ionian islands are situated parallel to the continental coast, they provide good cover leeward during uneasy weather.
