TWO WEEKS IONIAN SEA CABIN CHARTER
The great thing about sailing in Greece is that every island is different. Each has its individuality and makes it fascinating. The differences are both cultural and scenic. Many of our past clients who have sailed in the Caribbean or the Pacific say they find Greece more varied. The Ionian Sea is covered in evergreen pine forests. Trees overhang the quiet coves we sail into, providing perfect shade for midday picnics and siestas.
We will visit most of the following coastal places or islands, Ligia, Amoudia, Lichnos, Parga, Sivota, Plataria, Paxi and Antipaxi islands and Corfu. The whole area is unique with over 40 miles of sandy beaches, secluded coves, beautiful bays, turquoise waters and incredible archeological, historical and religious interest.
