GREECE FLOTILLA SAILING HOLIDAYS

Saronic Isles & Peloponnese

The Narrow waterway between Poros and the mainland makes a great natural harbour for our greece flotilla homebase, complete with waterfront tavernas and bars. From here our first week normally takes us north via Epidavros, with its fabulous amphitheatre, to visit the floating fruit and veg boats in the pistachio and pottery port of Aegina town. En route we drop anchor at sleepy Perdika, Korfos and Vathi.

Week two on our greece flotilla finds us south of Poros in the mythical and sheltered waters of the Argolic Gulf visiting Hydra, rich in local art where cars are banned and donkeys rule the road. Moving on we anchor in Batiza creek to visit Spetses in a horse-drawn carriage, then slow things right down for the final few days cruising around the delightful fishing ports of Ermioni, Plaka and Astos.

You must have within your party a skipper qualified to 'day skipper' level as well as another party member with some crewing experience. If you need to obtain a qualification before you go please ask about our recommended sailing schools in the UK or the Med. You will need to allow 2 weekends or 5 days to attend an intensive training course.

Ideal for those with limited sailing experience is our flotilla training course for the first 3 days of your holiday. You can benefit from private tuition from one of our experienced sailing tutors. You will be issued with a flotilla competence certificate at the end of the course.

GREECE FLOTILLA SAILING AREA

The conditions in then Saronic gulf and along the eastern coast of the Peloponnese are ideal for sailing with predictable and steady breezes over the day. Our flotillas cover a northern or a southern route over the course of a week. The northen route in the Saronic Gulf visits the charming ports of Perdika, Vathi, Palea Epidavros and Korfos each boasting its own special character and charm. The southern route visits the renown and uniquely pretty islands of Hydra & Spetses together with the harbours of Ermioni, Astros or Plaka.

PERDIKA on Aegina's southern coast is a small, enchanting village with a sandy beach and a sprinkling of excellent tavernas overlooking the small harbour. Aegina is renowned for its pistachios and ceramics. In Greek mythology Zeus abducted the daughter of Asopos and transported her to this then uninhabited island. If you have time, visit the temple of Aphaia, at Agia Marina, a village also known for its long sandy beach.
 
METHANA is an old established spa town famous for its warm sulphurous spa where you can take the cure! Vathi, a very small village on the other side of the peninsula is a firm favourite with our flotilla and locals alike!
 
ANGISTRI a small island just south west of Aegina, retains its simplicity which gives it a special appeal. The main village offers a good selection of excellent tavernas whilst on the other side there are some more secluded anchorages with crystal clear waters.
PALEA EPIDAVROS nestled around a pretty natural harbour was once health resort of the Ancient Greeks. There are abundant ancient ruins here including the famous amphitheatre, which still enjoys performances of ancient plays by the National Theatre during the Epidauros festival.
 
ERMIONI is a fishing village and resort that has managed to retain its unspoilt charm. There are excellent scenic walks enjoying spectacular sea views.
 
KHINITSA is a tiny Island Just to the west of Porto Heli -no larger than a full stop on the nautical chart -the perfect setting for a Beach Party.
PLAKA is small hamlet, famed for its sandy beach and fertile valley. It is overlooked by the fascinating town of Leonidhion high on the hills above, which is well worth a visit.
 
ASTROS with the spectacular backdrop of the Parnon Mountains, is an ideal haven with a medieval castle. Be sure to try the reknowned local peaches and we recommend a visit to the cliff face monastery of Moni Loukas.
 
HYDRA has become a haunt of the rich and famous. The busy little port is uniquely picturesque overlooked by historic mansions and colourful cottages rising up the hillsides amphitheatrically. Motorised transport is banned so you can explore the labyrinth of backstreets on foot or by donkey. There are some exceptional restaurants and tavernas, pricey but worth every penny!
SPETSES is a lively holiday island that retains some of its past splendour with its horse drawn carriages and neo classical houses. We moore across the water at Porto Heli, popular with water sports enthusiasts. Take a water taxi to Spetses for dinner. Fish al la Spetsiosa, the local speciality is not to be missed.
NAUPLION the first capital of modern Greece is a historic town crowned by a spectacular fortress and boasting many historic buildings and museums. From her a trip to the ancient ruined city of Mycenae. The nearby tiny and tranquil fishing village of Haidhari is ideal for a quiet overnight stop.
