\"GreekThe Greek Ionian Islands, while less known as a charter spot than the Cyclades, offer everything you’d want in a Greek Yacht Charter.<\/a> These islands, which include Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakinthos, Ithaca, Paxoi and Kythira, are generally less touristy, and are incredibly beautiful.\u00a0 You can find whatever you want for your itinerary, ranging from quiet, unspoiled anchorages to great nightlife. And of course the area is full of amazing history and ruins. Additionally, you can expect great weather in July and August, while you might run up against the Meltemi Winds in those months in the Cyclades.<\/p>\n

Here’s a sample 7 day motor yacht itinerary in the Ionian Islands<\/a>, out of Athens, to get you started.<\/p>\n

Right now, you can also get tremendous value and early booking discounts. We have lots of charter yachts in Lefkas<\/a>, from bareboat sailboats of all sizes and configurations to catamarans, motor yachts and crewed sailing yachts, both classic and modern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
