Corfu Gulet Charter

A gulet charter holiday across the Ionian Sea is a great way to experience western Greece. Corfu is the perfect place to start your journey of discovery, with its deep blue waters, green coastal hills and centuries of history.

Unlike a dull hotel holiday, a Corfu gulet charter allows guests to reach secluded bays and deserted beaches, returning home with unforgettable memories.

Why is Corfu a Unique Destination for a Gulet Charter?

Corfu is unique among other Greek destinations thanks to its distinctive geography and rich cultural heritage. The island’s lush landscape of olive groves and cypress trees creates a striking contrast against the bright blue sea. The coastal towns’ architecture reflects a strong Venetian influence, offering a unique aesthetic.

The sailing conditions in this region are ideal for a relaxed holiday. The region’s tranquil waters and reliable summer breezes make it an ideal choice for those embarking on their sailing journey for the first time. The local maritime infrastructure is highly developed. Gouvia Marina is a prime base. It is only a short drive from the international airport. Boarding of the vessel and the start of the holiday can be done without long transfer times thanks to this proximity. Guests can access hidden coves and snorkel in crystal-clear lagoons along the coast, and they can also step ashore to enjoy local tavernas serving traditional dishes heavily influenced by Italian cuisine.
