|  |  |  |  |  |  | No matter which of the seven islands of the Ionian sea you choose you will enjoy a wonderful combination of excellent sailing and almost any lifestyle you prefer, from quiet relaxation to adventure or the lively, holiday atmosphere of the large cosmopolitan ports. An unforgettable experience with great sailing.
The Ionian is one of the most important areas for yacht charter and boat rental in the Mediterranean Sea; for bareboats, flotillas and for crewed yacht charters on gulet motorsailers.
From the heel of Italy most yachts cross the Otranto Strait to Corfu only 70 miles away. Corfu is the first of the seven Ionian Islands. Proceeding south from Corfu, you come to the islands of Paxi and Antipaxi, Lefkas, Ithaca, Kefalonia and Zakynthos, and the island of Kythira.
To those of you who visualize a Greece of sunbaked rock dotted with dazzling whitewashed houses, the Ionian comes as a gentle surprise. This is not the Greece of the popular travel brochure but a shaded green country, sheltering red tiled Latin houses an eccentric collection of Italian and French architecture and English tastes (in Corfu the locals play cricket and you can buy currant buns and ginger beer) welded together into a whole that is indubitably Greek.
