Agios Stefanos is the place in Corfu from which one can easily spot the Turkish coast emerging on the east. Strait that separates Corfu and Turkey is truly a narrow one: a few kilometres wide in some places, and also shallow. Certainly one of the most beautiful places in Agios Stefanos is its bay, secluded, with rocky shore, lined with colourful boats and also yachts < possibly of those rolling in money that come to Cofu each year to forget about tensions of everyday life>.
Anchored in the harbour during the night they usually spend days sailing around , on the peaceful waters of the strait or of the Aegeyan Sea. Visitors may rent such a boat or yacht to participate in a daily , or even longer cruise. That seems to be a perfect way to get to know the coast of the island: to sail around, each day visiting another place. Lazing about, sunbathing or swimming in the crystal clear waters. Like in a Hollywood film ;P Prices of renting such a boat are really different, yet there is a really wide choice of different boast or yachts to choose from.
Arilas is a resort situated on the west coast of Corfu, also perfect when it comes down to sailing. It is located between two bigger towns: Agios Stefanos < not the one mentioned above> and Agios Georgios. Beaches there are sandy and waters of sea are never rough. That is why yachting is so popular there.
2009 is also a perfect year to begin your adventure with yachting.
summer 2009 approaches ;>
