What a license-free day looks like
You potter around the Corfu channel between the island and the mountains of Epirus, the green gateway to the Ionian, picnic on board, swim at anchor. The maistro, the Ionian’s north-westerly breeze, rising in early afternoon and dying at dusk — the operator adjusts the day's area accordingly.
Booking smart
Demand peaks from May to October, the Ionian staying gentle while the Aegean rages, and the local license-free fleet can often be counted on one hand. The calmer morning slot is also the most pleasant.
