8 reasons to choose the Ionian Islands for your next catamaran and sailing holiday:

1. A mild climate, with good sailing conditions from April to November.
2. One of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean for skippered sailing holidays and flotillas.
3. Discover the culture and heritage of the Ionian Islands by sailing, with visits to medieval castles, monasteries and numerous museums.
4. Admire the elusive monk seals and loggerhead turtles native to the area.
5. Visit one of Europe's main kitesurfing and windsurfing centres, with dedicated areas and facilities for all possible water sports.
6. Taste the special local delicacies of Ionian Greece, such as -Pastitsádais, a traditional Greek pasta dish prepared on the island of Corfu, or Lefkadítiki ladópita (oil cake) which comes from Lefkada.
7. The rolling hills of olive trees and cypresses make the Ionian vegetation lush, very different from the rest of Greece.
8. Their rugged coastlines are truly unique, the result of seismic activity and its ability to change landscapes enough to separate them from central Greece.
