Corfu

The essentials of Corfu

Kerkyra, the capital of Corfu in Greece's Ionian Islands, serves as an excellent base for sailors exploring the Ionian Sea. The island benefits from established sailing infrastructure, with four departure points available: Corfu harbor, Corfu Sailing Club, D-Marin Marina Gouvia, and NAOK Sailing Club. A fleet of 321 charter yachts operates from these locations, offering varied options for different sailing preferences and group sizes.

The Ionian sailing area around Corfu presents steady winds and sheltered anchorages ideal for both experienced sailors and those new to yacht charter. The island's strategic position makes it accessible for multi-day voyages throughout the region, with numerous nearby islands and coastal villages to explore. The combination of reliable facilities and established charter operations makes Kerkyra a practical starting point for Ionian sailing adventures.
