The Greek serenity is also reflected in the sailing area around Corfu. It is a quiet, safe and above all green sailing area. Corfu is rightly called the green island of Greece. Along with Crete and Lefkas, it is one of the best-known islands in the Ionian Sea and very popular with sailors from all over the world.
The Meltemi is much weaker here, it builds up to a good sailing wind in the morning and then usually decreases again around 3 pm, so that it is usually almost calm at night when anchoring in the bays. Therefore, a sailing trip from Corfu is also ideal for sailing novices and bay strollers, for whom sunbathing is the priority. Due to the numerous sandy beaches and the protection between the many islands, the sailing estuary is also very family friendly.
Corfu and the Ionian Islands are among the most beautiful islands in Greece. Unique beaches and secluded bays, small villages and green vegetation with pine forests offer sailors ideal conditions for a yacht charter in Greece.

Advice for the sailing trip from Corfu
Due to the legal situation in Greece, it is not possible to have charter contracts confirmed in advance at the port office. According to Greek law, the original signature of the client and the crew list on the contracts must be completed on site. Only then can we present your ship's papers to the port captain. Therefore, please understand that there may be delays for you due to possible waiting times at the port police.
