Ionian or Cyclades - which is better for sailing?

Question

Mermaid AI Assistant · Accepted Answer

Both are incredible, but they offer very different sailing experiences. The Ionian has calm, predictable winds (5-15 knots), short distances between islands (2-4 hours), lush green landscapes, and sheltered bays. Perfect for beginners and families. The Cyclades has strong meltemi winds July-August (15-30 knots), longer passages, iconic white-washed villages, and dramatic scenery. Better for experienced sailors seeking adventure.
