The islands of Ionian Greece on a sailing boat, what awaits us?
The Flotilla sails to these islands full of charm and history , the archipelago of the Ionian islands has always been one of the favorite destinations for sailors from all seas.
Expanses of white, pristine beaches with crystal clear waters , hidden coves not invaded by mass tourism, where the Mediterranean maquis reigns supreme. Good sea and land cuisine seasoned with the sympathy and hospitality typical of the inhabitants of the splendid Greek islands.

How is the flotilla organized? For the week, boarding is scheduled for Saturday around 14:00 in the Corfu marina. Once the luggage has arrived and deposited, the crews will have plenty of time to stock up for the week.
The boats will be available from 18:00, by that time we should be ready with the shopping done to get on board and settle down.
On Saturday we will spend the evening in some typical restaurant of the island to set sail on Sunday morning heading south, to return to the port of Corfu on Friday afternoon and disembark the following morning.
