He likes to enjoy the sea from up here.How much wider it is,that much more it steals the heart.So much that your mind chokes.”

Welcome to the west coast of Greeceand the Ionian sea

Crystal clear waters and pure natural beauty are the symbols of the IonianSea. The sea was named after Io who, according to Greek mythology, was a priestess of the goddess Hera. Io had an affair with Zeus, king of thegods, and Hera’s husband. When Hera learned of the affair she transformedIo into a cow. Io fled around Europe trying to escape Hera’s wrath. Finally,Io plunged into the sea, which was named Ionian, after her.

Perfect weather for sailing

It is hard to imagine a more perfect sailing and cruising area. In the summer the wind picks up at midday, blows through the afternoon and disappears at sunset. This enables travellers to enjoy a good night’s sleep without worrying about theanchor holding. The perfect morning calm lets sailboats motor northwards against the prevailing wind direction and gives the opportunity for yachts and speed boats to cruise with safety.

In the 20 years that I have been involved in theyachting industry, I have had the opportunity to sail in many exotic locations from the Caribbean to Asia. I still believe that the Ionian Islands are one of the most attractive cruising areas of the world with their many protected anchorages, great hospitality and a fascinating wealth of history and culture. For this reason I have made Paleros my home for the last 13 years.”

“

Brad Trusler, Sunsail regional operation manager for Greece and Croatia and his wife Mandy, Sunsail Ionian Base Manager
