Corfu is the 2nd largest of the Ionian Islands and has extraordinary geographical diversity including tall mountains and stunning sandy beaches. The island has a rich history going back to classical times and was one of the major footholds in defending Europe from the Ottoman invasions.
Sailing around Corfu will take you to charming little villages and towns, with safe harbors and beaches that are considered to be amongst the most beautiful in all of Greece.
Inter-island sails are short, and the sailing conditions are comfortable
