Your sailing trip – you can look forward to it:

The sailing trip from Corfu shows you the Ionian Sea from its most relaxed and at the same time most impressive side. The following sections give you a compact overview of the area and its most beautiful highlights.

Sailing trip from Corfu: Your Ionian adventure

A sailing vacation from Corfu takes you to one of the greenest and most relaxed regions of Greece. We start in Gouvia Marina, not far from the impressive capital of Kerkyra. The Ionian Sea is famous for its calm waters and steady but gentle afternoon winds – ideal for enjoying stress-free sailing. The route takes you south to the jewels of the archipelago: Paxos and Antipaxos. Time seems to stand still here. But the mainland of Epirus, with places like Parga and Sivota, is also on the program. It is the perfect mix of culture, nature and fantastic swimming stops in bays that are only accessible from the water.

The most beautiful highlights in the Ionian Sea

Every day offers a new postcard motif. On Paxos, we sail into the spectacular sea caves on the west coast and moor in the idyllic natural harbor of Lakka or Gaios in the evening. An absolute highlight is the swimming stop off Antipaxos – the water here is so turquoise that it seems almost unreal. Parga, which is built around a bay like an amphitheater, awaits you on the mainland. Corfu Town itself, with its two fortresses and the Liston, a French-style promenade, is the perfect start or end point for your trip. You will be spoiled with a culinary mix of Greek cuisine and Italian influences.
