The BEST Ionian Anchorages We Keep Coming Back To | Sailing Greece 🇬🇷
Ep. 217 ~ Looking for the best Ionian anchorages in Greece? Join us as we revisit some of our favorite places while sailing our catamaran through the beautiful Ionian Islands.
In this episode, we leave Ithaca and head to the tiny island of Kastos, where we compare the peaceful Easter season to the excitement of peak charter season and show why flotillas love stopping here. We also discover a quiet anchorage just outside town before sailing north to Vathy on Meganisi, one of our favorite family-friendly harbor towns.
From there, we anchor in one of the most beautiful bays near Lefkada, transit the famous Lefkada floating bridge, and return to Preveza, the Greek town we've proudly called our winter home for several seasons. Along the way, we say goodbye to our longtime friend Dulce, prepare Oka for winter and begin getting ready for our next adventure.
If you're planning an Ionian sailing itinerary, a Greek sailing holiday, or dreaming about living aboard a catamaran, we hope this episode gives you plenty of ideas for your own adventure.
