Corfu
lies at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea and is just fifty miles from the heel of Italy. It is one of the most beautiful of the Ionian islands, and a very unique part of Greece, being one of the few places where both European and Middle Eastern powers have ruled. As a result, it has its’ own character - definitely Greek, but also Venetian, French and English influences. This mountainous island looks like an emerald set in a turquoise sea with stunning, golden beaches and lush vegetation – the greenest of Greece’s 1,425 islands. The people of Corfu are friendly, charming and casual, and it is one of the safest, most lovely yachting destinations in the world. There are several harbors on the island, and one full service marina. You will find top class, fully equipped yacht charters on Corfu, with a wide selection of cruises available. Corfu’s protected waters and multitude of safe anchorages, many of them accessible only by yacht, assure an endlessly relaxing holiday. The beaches of Corfu are some of the Ionian’s most beautiful, many of them with world class resorts, bars and restaurants. All of the nightlife on Corfu is located at the beach resorts of Kavos, Roda, Ypsos, Gouvia and Dassia. One of the first islands in Greece to open itself to tourism, Corfu has much to offer the yachting enthusiast.
