Sailing the Ionian Islands: A Sailing Video Guide

The Ionian Islands lie off Greece’s western coast in a line from Zakynthos in the south to Corfu in the north. Part of the latter is closer to Albania than to the mainland. The islands are part of Greece and lie off the country’s west coast in the Ionian Sea. Corfu’s northernmost island has an old town with Renaissance, baroque, and classical architecture. Corfu also features the 19th-century Liston, a promenade on the central square with arcades and cafes.

To do

The 15th-century old fortress

The 15th-century Old Fortress is nearby. The Palace of St. Michael and St. George is home to the Museum of Asian Art.

The mainland Mortos-Sibota

The bays around the town of Sibota (also called Mortos) are excellent for lunch. One of the bays to the south has a beautiful blue cave.

The city – if there is a great place to dock in the inner and sheltered part of the dock, and if not – can be docked along with the restaurant platform, pay attention not to anchor in this platform opposite the opening (beyond the voucher line) when north/northwest winds blow.

For all the love birds

Don’t miss Sidari canal at the north of Corfu!

Reastauts we loved

A bit expensive restaurant – Agni Restaurant. Arrive with a dinghy to the restaurant.

Mandraki marina

A small marina, a short walk from Corfu’s old town.

Ormos Vourlias

A beautiful bay in the north of Corfu island with a wide sandy beach. Open north – pay attention to the forecast.

Agios Stefanos

About 10 miles from marina Gobia. In continuous. The bottom is full of grass and mooring is a bit hard. It’s relatively crowded in the bay. Take care – waves rise as a result of the movement of ferries in the channel between Corfu and the mainland.

Kassiopi

A small mooring in the north of Corfu island. Beautiful resort but open to the north – pay attention to the forecast.

Kalami

About 7 miles from marina Gouvia,  anchor and reach shore with a dinghy. There are two recommended restaurants on the beach: Thomas’s Place and White House Taverna, romantic and beautiful with a terrace over the sea, you can go with the dinghy to the restaurant platform, or ask them to come and pick you up from the yacht with their boat.

Petriti

A little town with a small mooring that is considered protected from northern winds. There are several taverns. The docking doesn’t cost money, and there are no marina services.  The platform is reserved for fishing boats that depart in the afternoon and return in the morning. 

Sailors tips

Sailing in the East coast of Corfu

Sailing in the East coast of Corfu is recommended for a day trip, before you head south.

First stop on crowded Ipsos, head on to Agni for more peace and quiet.

Second stop in beautiful Agni, and on to the amazing Kalami, for great food in the Taverna and siesta.

Dangers

Care is needed. Close attention to the section between the mainland and the town of Gaios, because there is a reef.
