Saronic Gulf and Peloponese flotilla sailing
|
|
We are proud to offer the Saronic Gulf and Peloponese flotilla
in collaboration with our UK-based partners who have been running
this programme for many years now. Winner of our BEST FLOTILLA
award two years running this flotilla boasts a superb fleet
of yachts, consistant winds and a perfect starting and finishing
point away from busy shipping lanes and in the middle of a wonderful
and varied sailing area.
The narrow waterway between Poros and the mainland makes a
great natural harbour for our Greece flotilla home base, complete
with waterfront tavernas and bars. From here the first week
normally takes you 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 you will drop anchor at
sleepy Perdika, Korfos and Vathi.
Week two will take you south of Poros in the mythical and sheltered
waters of the ArgolicGulf, visiting Ermioni, typically Greek
and reputed to be the site of the first regatta in history,
then Hydra, rich in local art where cars are banned and donkeys
rule the road. Slowing things right down for the final few days
you will sail around the delightful fishing ports of Plaka and
Astros. Moving on you will anchor in a secluded bay for the
beach party. For free sailing, try Baltiza creek to visit Spetses
in a horse-drawn carriage, Then back to Poros our charming base
port for our farewell eveing to our Greece flotilla.
