Description

Celebration Charters sailing holidays are based on Corfu in the Greek Ionian. This sailing area is well known for the perfect sailing holiday and can provide you with calm waters but also the perfect breeze later in the afternoon for the keener sailor.

From a map you will see that the sailing area stretches from Corfu, where your holiday will begin and end, visiting harbours on Corfu, the Greek mainland and the stunning islands of Paxos and Anti-Paxos which can only be reached by boat.

You can’t beat the freedom of a Sailing Holiday- a Yacht gives you access to a host of hidden gems that would otherwise be unreachable. There will always be something magical about the Greek Isles.

The Ionian Sea and its islands offer some of the most scenic and idyllic sailing in the world. With near perfect weather and ideal wind conditions this makes the Ionian a privileged sailing area with crystal clear waters and picturesque harbours offering traditional Greek food and a friendly welcome.
