Book Description
The standard guide for Ionian sailing
Like its companions West Aegean and East Aegean, Ionian contains detailed information on many of the smaller harbours and anchorages which cannot be adequately covered in Rod Heikell's major guides Greek Waters Pilot and Turkish Waters and Cyprus Pilot. These handy-sized cruising companions are ideal for charterers and flotilla sailors who are in the area for a short time but to make the best of it need all the essential background information on places to visit, history, food and travelling in Greece at their finger tips.
Ionian covers the coasts and islands south from Corfu and has been extended for this sixth edition southwards to Finakounda and eastwards to Mesolongion. It has been fully revised with new and updated plans and photographs and major changes have been made to the layout to improve its use as a practical guide.
Continuously updated over nearly 20 years from his own unrivalled research Rod Heikell's Ionian is the original and trusted on-board reference.
Fully illustrated with harbour and anchorage plans, ground level and aerial photos in full colour. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
About the Author
Rod Heikell has spent more than 20 years cruising the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean. In the 1970's he took time off from academic life and sailed Roulette, a 1950's JOG plywood hard chine sloop all of 20ft LOA and 6ft beam from England to Greece. He fell in lovewith the life and stayed in the Mediterranean. For a number of years he worked in the yacht charter business, delivered yachts and was a freelanec photographer. In 1979 he bought Fiddlers Green, a 28ft Cobra 850 and sailed it down to to the Mediterranean in the winter months. Three yaers later he acquired Tetra, a 31ft Cheverton New Campaigner built in 1962. In Tetra he travelled extensively around the Mediterranean researching his Pilots and recently sailed her to Southeast Asia and back. In 1987 he sailed down the Danube and on to the Aegean in a 19ft Mirror Offshore, Rozinante. His latest yacht seven Tenths,a Cheoy Lee Pedrick 36, is his fifth and is now in the Mediterranean from the Caribbean. Rod Heikell is the acknowledged expert on sailing in the Mediterranean. His Pilots have become the model for others and are often referred to as 'The Bible'!

Format:Paperback
This book has it all, harbour guides, local facilities guide, site seeing and even a bit of history thrown in as well.
If you're sailing round the ionian then you can't afford to be without this (watch out for the Hermiotti :-)

Rod Heikell's guides to cruising areas are always really useful, and often are the only widely available detailed guide to ports, marinas and anchorages for cruising sailers.
I bought this 2nd hand from Amazon market place but omitted to check which edition was being offered. I was disappointed when it arrived to find that it was over 10 years out of date. It's definitely worth checking the edition before ordering! Fortunately the company from which I chartered a yacht thoughtfully provided an up to date edition of the same book. There were a number of small but significant differences between the editions. The old edition would still have been better than nothing, but one certainly can't rely on the information being accurate.

Very comprehensive and useful book for anyone boating or sailing on Ionian waters although its content is included in Greek Waters Pilot which covers all the Greek sailing areas. I consider this book (Ionian) a must when sailing there on Ionian waters
