Gouvia Marina

General

Gouvia Marina, part of the D-Marin group, is located on the exquisite Ionian island of Corfu, or Kerkira, off the west coast of Greece. It creates a natural link between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean Seas and is an impressive place to visit or take a charter from. Gouvia Marina is the largest marina in Greece

World renowned, it is a popular place for sailing yachts and superyachts from all over. For beginners and experienced sailors alike, sailing in the area is ideal. To the northwest of Corfu lie the Diapontian Islands - Mathraki, Othonoi, and Erikoussa. Approach from the north to the first is tricky, as it is surrounded by shallow reefs. The other two islands are a good and increasingly popular place for first port of call for vessels approaching from the Adriatic.

The outstanding natural beauty and lushness of the Ionian Islands have been marveled at since ancient times. Legend has it that Odysseus sailed these waters on his journey home from the Trojan wars. The northeast coast is a sailor’s dream, with its easy access to shore, and calm, pristine waters. The other Ionian Islands in this group are further afield, for the more adventurous.

This marina is also a fine location for super yachts. Contemporary Corfu has a range of luxury accommodation and dining as well as a world class golf club, horse riding clubs, tennis clubs, cricket courts and water sports facilities.
