Superyacht Charter Ionian Islands

Corfu Town, with its Italianate architecture reflecting 400 years under Venetian rule, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit the churches, castles and fine museums and soak up centuries of history on your superyacht charter. Shop in the boutiques scattered throughout the old streets. Listen out for the marching bands - one of Corfu’s special characteristics - a common sight throughout the town. For classic Corfiot food head to the down-to-earth Marina’s Tavern, or try the more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Venetian Well.

Sailing your superyacht to tiny Antipaxos is all about peace, quiet and glorious beaches. Tender to Vrika and Voutoumi to relax on soft golden sand and swim in clear blue and turquoise waters. Go snorkelling to spot colourful fish, underwater rock arches and caverns. Walk through the olive groves carpeted with wild flowers to the tiny village of Vigla, with its maze of narrow, walled paths. Watch the sunset from the jacuzzi, sipping champagne as total tranquillity falls over the island, before dinner onboard under the stars.

Visit the Melissani Cave, home to the nymphs in Greek mythology, with its stunning interior lake. Access the lake by motor or sailing boat and swim and snorkel in its emerald-green water. Head to milky-white Myrtos beach, the island's pin-up, or pine-fringed Horgota. Go hiking on Mount Ainos, a national park where deer and wild horses roam. Explore the pretty fishing village of Fiskardo with its Venetian architecture. Enjoy a delicious meal right on the harbour at Tassia, washed down with the local Robola wine.

From Galaxidi, visit the ancient ruins of Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is believed that the Pythian Games (one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, which includes the Olympic games) were held here. The ruins of the Temple of Apollo can also be seen, dating from 586BC and including an amphitheatre, hippodrome and the remains of several other buildings. There are also many preserved statues of athletes including the Charioteer of Delphi. For even more culture, take a private tour of the Archaeological Museum before returning to your motor or sailing boat.

Take your superyacht through the Corinth Canal, an experience in itself. The idea was first conceived in 602BC, but only came to fruition in the late 19th century, used for the first time in 1893. It is 6.4km long and just 25m wide, and navigation is extraordinary to watch. On arrival at Epidaurus, another significant ancient site, take in a performance in the atmospheric amphitheatre, dedicated to ancient Greek drama. If you prefer, cruise on to Athens and enjoy Dinner in the Sky, literally suspended 50m over the city, or stay grounded at the fabulous Michelin starred Funky Gourmet.
