When to visit the Ionian
The best time to visit the Ionian Sea on a yacht charter is in the spring (May to June) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is warm and perfect for exploring, without the high season crowds.
Summer (July to August) is also a great but it is peak season, with the islands buzzing with festivals, great food, and awesome nightlife. The average daily high in the summer months is 31 degree Celsius with mainly thermal breezes so largely still nights and mornings.
