What is the wind like in the Ionian?
The winds are not as strong as in other areas of the Greek Islands, mainly as it is not affected by the Meltemi winds, which can blow for 5 or 6 days at a time at strengths up to F7/F8. There is plenty of wind to have fun sailing. Typically winds will kick in about lunchtime and blow until evening. This means that you can spend the morning sailing gently to a lunch time stop, such as a secluded bay, and go for a swim or snorkel, have lunch on board and then have a sail to your evening destination. The winds are fairly predictable and usually result in a very calm evening and night. This means that you can anchor off in confidence if you choose or have a comfortable night on a quay.
