Private berthing, convenient refuelling and more time to explore.
Finding a permanent berth in Greece can be a challenge. At MG Yachts, we offer a welcoming home for your yacht at our private pontoon in Palairos, combining practical services with an ideal location for sailing holidays.
A calmer alternative to Lefkas
During the summer season, the busy waters around Lefkas can bring crowded berthing areas, refuelling queues and concentrated traffic on charter changeover days.
Our Palairos base offers a more relaxed setting for berthing, refuelling and charter check in and check out. Start your holiday away from the busiest activity, with our team nearby to help you prepare for your voyage.
Step aboard and discover the Ionian
Located south of the Lefkas Canal, Palairos gives you direct access to the southern Ionian sailing area. When departing towards Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos, Ithaca or Kefalonia, there is no need to transit the canal or plan your departure around the floating bridge opening times.
Choose a short escape among nearby islands or spend a week discovering colourful harbours, waterfront tavernas and beautiful swimming bays.
