A Taste of the HighlightsInside The Guide
Just a few of the local gems that you won't find in any other travel guide

Spyros Walking Tour
Meet Spyos, a passionate archaeologist
on Ithaka, who brings Homer’s epic
tales to life on his thrilling walking tours. In just 1 to 3 hours, he’ll take you through Ithaka’s rich history and stunning landscapes, leaving you with unforgettable stories and a deeper connection to this legendary island.

The best Galaktoboureko
Don’t sail past Galatis! Panos and his sister have been serving traditional sweets in the area since 1979, with coffee and your feet in the sand. Their Galaktoboureko is so delicious.
Trust me—drop anchor and treat yourself!

A Slice of Heaven
Sakis and his family (and Christos) have crafted a little slice of paradise. They’ll take your lines and treat you like one of their own. Pick your fresh fish from the kitchen,
and kick back in the hammock under
the olive trees with view on Lefkas!

''This guide is your best friend on board at the Ionian Sea! We’ve been sailing around the world for years, always relying on traditional, hard-core pilot books. But this one is different – it’s user-friendly, inspiring, and accessible.''

''The Lefkas Sail Guide is a must-have if you're sailing in the area. It helps you with the crucial first steps at check-in, the easy escape, and fine-tuning your sail plan. The helpful tips about anchorages and harbor facilities, including the excellent drone footage, are truly unique. Thanks to the Lefkas Sail Guide, our holiday was unforgettable!''

⭐️ First time in the Ionian

''We’ve done lots of charter trips, and this guide really stood out. Watching the videos before each port made things so much easier, and sailing with advice from local skippers felt way better than relying on AI or random blogs. Everything we needed was in one place, which saved us time and hassle.''

Got a question?
Frequently asked questions
Is this guide for beginners or experienced sailors?
Both. It’s not about experience level — it’s about knowing the area.
If you’re newer, the guide helps you understand what to expect and sail with confidence. If you’re experienced, it gives you the local layer: how things really work here, which places are worth your time, and which ones aren’t.
Is this a PDF or something else?
There’s a printed guide and an online guide. The online version works like a simple web app — you log in via our website and can access it anywhere with an internet connection. Many sailors enjoy using both together.
What makes this different from pilot books or Navionics?
Pilot books and apps are great for charts and basics — we use them too. This guide adds the local skipper’s layer: a selection of the good stuff, based on real experience, so you don’t have to spend hours searching and filtering.
What if I’m not sure this area or this guide is right for me?
That’s completely fine. Sailing areas — and guides — aren’t one-size-fits-all.
If you’re unsure whether this area suits your plans, or if this guide will really help you, just send me a message. I’m happy to give you an honest answer — even if that means pointing you in a different direction.
