Last updated on 8 April 2025
Paleros or Palairos, a charming port town on the west coast of Greece, is ideally located in the shelter of a beautiful bay that can be reached after passing Cape Kefali. Surrounded by mountains, the town exudes the authentic beauty of Greek cities. Thanks to its totally safe approach, this city is on the shortlist of many boaters who sail in the Ionian Sea. Yacht charter in Paleros is a great opportunity to explore the islands of the region, including Corfu, Ithaca, Lefkada and Paxos. These verdant ends of the earth will charm you as much with their wild and authentic character as with the numerous beaches they offer.
in Paleros, the peaceful atmosphere invites you to relax, sitting quietly at one of the few terraces in the port. You will enjoy tasting the traditional specialties of the country, particularly those based on seafood such as octopus. As you stroll through the region, you will come across the ruins of the village of Peratia. Destroyed by an earthquake, it continues to fascinate, as the houses have retained their brilliance. At the end of the day, return to your sailboat moored in the harbor to await the traditional fishing boats. The atmosphere there is special.
Leaving Pelaros
For cruisers and pleasure boaters, Palairos remains an excellent point of departure for a sailboat charter in Greece. By setting course to the west, you will reach the eastern coast of the island of Lefkas, where its most famous seaside resorts such as Nydri and Vliko can be seen. Your odyssey continues to the shores of the mountainous island of Kalamos, where a succession of pretty deserted beaches line the turquoise sea.
Your crossing of the Ionian Sea will take you to the island of Kefalonia, where there are magnificent coastal towns suitable for various water sports, such as Poros, a peaceful village with a lovely beach caressed by a turquoise sea. Magnificent seascapes line the coasts of Kefalonia, such as Myrtos beach, revealing a river of white pebbles, or Xi beach, renowned for its reddish sand.
Don't miss a stopover on the island of Ithaca. A meeting place for yachtsmen from all over the world, Ithaca is the place to be if you enjoy long walks in the mountains, which will allow you to discover its surprisingly varied flora and fauna. Those who enjoy water sports, such as snorkeling, will quickly find what they are looking for in the open sea off the sand and pebble beaches of the island, which enhance the seaside resorts of Vathi, Kioni and Frikes. Music lovers will linger in Ithaca in August to attend its cultural festival, which brings together orchestras and artists from all over the world.
On your way back to Paleros, spend a few hours on the island of Meganisi.
