The North-West wind that heralds summer typically arrives at the end of June.
Yachts travel to the gentle Ionian waters for the summer, as it is famed for its excellent sailing conditions – it’s pretty sheltered, which means the ‘sea state’ (how big the waves are) is fairly reliable.
Typically the wind will arrive in the early afternoon after a perfectly calm morning.
The result is what we lovingly call ‘Champagne sailing’ – very calm seas with the perfect sailing breeze.
Although July and August is the hottest time of year, on the water you are creating your own breeze and a dip in the sea is only ever a few steps away.
