The ionian sea is definitely one of the most ideal sailing destinations in the world .Reliable sunshine is virtually guaranteed during the season between early May and late October , with temperatures ranging from low 70's in early and late season up to the high 80's or even low 90's in late June through August.Sailing conditions are generally moderate with winds typically force 2-5.The Northern  Ionian offers slightly more challenging sailing with the occasional longer crossing and more varied winds.Both areas ( North & South Ionian ) are considered moderate and ideal for a leisurely sailing holiday. 

These Ionian Seas offer a stunning combination of cruising opportunities .At one extreme you can still discover uninhabited islands and hidden away coves.At the other you have harbour sides full of Venetian charm and sophistication .In between , translucent waters, short passages and clement conditions , ideal for the more relaxed sailor.In the Northern Ionian , sailing from Lefkas , you can take in delightful bays and harbours on the Epirus mainland as well as the beautiful Isles of Paxos , Anti - Paxos and the east coast of Corfu .Historic Corfu Town is a must see destination in this area.

In the Southern Ionian , sailing from Lefkas you can plot a course for the pristine waters of Meganisi and onwards to sophistication of Fiskardo and the sheer serenity of Agia Efymia on Kefalonia .Kastos , Kalamos and of course Ithaca are the islands that you also have to visit , each one for different reasons.

Each island has its own unique allure as part of the patchwork Ionian experrience.You can swim in iridescent waters,explore timeless villages set amongst olive groves and vineyards,and indulge in the tastes and flavours of native Greece in traditional tevernas and lively bars .It's a wonderful fusion of ease and adventure.
