Northern Ionian

Ligia (Lygia or Liggia) is a small and relaxing rock bound sheltered fishing harbour with a number of facilities ashore, a nice harbourside taverna and cafe plus more choice of shops and tavernas in the nearby hill top village. There's a lovely long unspoilt beach close to the harbour too.

The entrance to Ligia harbour is a bit tricky and the approach should only be made in calm weather with a member of the crew on the bow conning the way in.

Erikousa (or Erikoussa, Erikusa, Ereikoussa) is one of a group of three small islands off the coast of Corfu called The Diapontian Islands which translates to The Faraway Islands  (the other two are Othoni and Mathraki). Nisos Erikousa is rich in green forests, filled with cypress, and olive trees with a small local population who enjoy a quiet, tranquil way of life. Anchor at Erikoussa island for its crystal clear waters, the endless sandy beach of Faro or Fiki and for a haven of peace and afterwards maybe sail along the remarkable cliffs of Sidari.
