Ionian : Corfu, Levkas, Cephalonia, Zakinthos and the adjacent m

Now celebrating its eleventh edition, Ionian has once again been thoroughly updated with new photos and plans.

Like its companions West Aegean and East Aegean, Ionian is ideal for charterers and flotilla sailors who are onboard for a relatively short time, but also for longer term cruisers on their own yachts who are looking for additional pilotage and background information for this popular cruising ground. As with all the Heikell guides, Ionian not only gives all the essential information you need but also exudes the charm and flavour of this corner of the Mediterranean. ''Heikell''s style is easy to digest and gives pleasure in the details of the history, geography and social circumstances of the places described as well as the essential sailing information.'' The Little Ship ''This book, as well as being a practical manual on Ionian cruising, seems to have absorbed much of the author''s personal feelings regarding the charm which draws him back to it, and any reader who has had a whiff of the magic spell of the Greek islands will sense this, and inevitably renew the resolve to return and experience it once again in greater measure.'' Nautical Magazine ''Rod Heikell nowadays is to the Mediterranean as gin is to tonic. It is difficult to imagine sailing there without one of his guides. Clear pilot notes, chartlets and plentiful illustrations, with entertaining commentaries on each place. Up-to-date observations on local and national regulations. The new edition does not disappoint. If one must choose, I would have no hesitation in recommending Heikell.'' Cruising Association ''Rod has a knack for dropping in snippets of interest and colour to give the reader a feel for the atmosphere of each port or bay.'' Yachting Monthly ''Like all Rod Heikell''s pilots, it is also a travel guide in its own right.'' Ionian Magazine ''The sailing directions are particularly useful when entering the smaller anchorages and harbours, for which little information is to be found on charts, and include excellent harbour plans and top quality aerial photographs.''
