A LUXURY CORFU YACHT CHARTER IN GREECE

If you are planning to charter a luxury yacht in Greece, make sure to stop by Corfu, the pearl of the Ionian Sea. A Corfu yacht charter is the gateway to an idyllic sailing holiday in the Northern Ionian, renowned for its natural beauty, luminous expanses of sand and quiet coves. It is also one of the most magical, just one step away from other, more crowded Greek destinations.

A Corfu luxury charter is a popular getaway for water sports fanatics and travellers looking for long strips of white powdery sand and hidden coves. Paleokastritsa is undoubtedly Corfu’s most famous beach, where Ulysses landed after the shipwreck. On the west coast, Glyfada beach has fine golden sand backed by pine-covered hillsides, another must-see stop-off on a Corfu yacht rental.

Corfu boasts richer vegetation, more rain and broader areas of protected waters than any other yacht charter destination in this Greek region. As a result, Corfu oozes natural beauty, with rolling green hills in the south and rugged limestone rock formations in the north. It also has stunning beaches and hidden coves and boasts a fine cultural heritage; the UNESCO-listed Corfu old town is guarded by two imposing 16th-century fortresses and is well worth visiting during a Corfu yacht charter.

The island of Corfu boasts an impressive collection of historical landmarks and archaeological remnants of a rich ancient civilization. Some of the notable sights to see during a motor yacht charter in Corfu include the ruins of Palaiopolis, which was an agora of ancient Corfu and the Virgin Mary monastery in Panagia, which was built during the 16th century.

Other highlights to see on a Corfu yacht rental are St. Michael and George palace in the town of Corfu, which is the home of the Asiatic Art Museum, the Christian Art Museum, the Public Library of Corfu and the Ionian Senate Archives.

For some much-needed downtime and relaxation after admiring the island’s historical landmarks, make sure to visit Sidari, Kavos, and Ermones on your Corfu yacht charter, three beautiful towns flanked with tavernas, boutiques and sandy beaches. The long beach of Agios Georgios, at the southern tip of the island, is also perfect for children.

Visitors arriving on their Corfu yacht charter by sailboat dock at Mandraki Marina or berth their motorboat in the well-serviced Naok Marina and Gouvia. The small, old harbor primarily caters to the local fishermen but is a charming stop-off for the finest yacht charters..

More safe docking is available in nearby islets, like Passo. Sail out to other islands, like Santorini and Mykonos – following your private Corfu yacht rental.
