Yacht charter in Corfu, gateway to the Ionian
Gouvia is the premier marina in the Ionian and an ideal base from which to explore the Ionian Sea, from the smaller islands north-west of Corfu to Paxos, Lefkas and beyond to the south.
Gouvia was the first privately owned marina in Greece. It is about 6 km from Corfu Town and 7 km from the international airport, so you can be on board soon after landing, and your last evening can be spent in the marina or in the lively streets of Corfu Town.
Sail on your own as a bareboat charter, or add a skipper or hostess. For an Ionian yacht charter or a sailing holiday from Corfu, the mainland coast at Syvota and Parga and the island of Paxos are all on the sample week below.
