Embark on a voyage through mythical history and magical beaches in the Ionian with our Corfu to Zakynthos yacht charter. These incredible islands have a slightly cooler climate than much of Greece. The forested mountainsides whisper tales of Homer, and the archipelagos are blessed with lush greenery, cool waters and a wealth of marine life.
Cruise past islands covered in cypress and pine trees and contrasting towns with dappled red-tiles simmering in the sunshine. The Ionian is packed with characteristics that make sailing from Corfu to Zante (aka Zakynthos) a magical experience. With many beautiful ports offering nearby tavernas and hillsides dotted with ancient ruins, take a relaxed island-hopping adventure on your yacht charter from Corfu, and make the most of access from the water. Discover small caves and explore secluded bays, enjoy playing with the watersports toys in tranquillity and don't forget to take in some sublime sunsets.
