How long does it take to sail and where are the best places to stop on route? Any other tips welcome.
Cheers.

Athens to Corfu via Corinth takes approximately 38 to 42 hours non-stop mainly motoring. As for stopping points check your Greek Waters pilot by Rod Heikell and chose according to your own likes or dislikes. Talk to cruisers enroute coming from the other direction.

Cheers

When you pass Corinth canal good place to stop is Itea ( visit Delphi) , Ihaca (Vathi), south Lefkas Sivota bay, Paxos ( Gaios) ,Korfu.
It was a nice trip for me!

Add to the list of potential stop offs Trizonia and Andikiron. Both delightful. As an afterthought try Spartakhori as well.

Not sure you'll find good diving going via Corinth - suspect better around the outside.
