The Ionian Sea, like its companions West Aegean and East Aegean, is a paradise 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 flavor 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.

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.
