Saronic Gulf and Corinth Canal Flotilla from Corinth
The Area
Based in the historic city of Corinth the Saronic Gulf & Corinth Canal flotilla has it all: a wealth of history and culture with famous sites such as the amphitheatre at Epidauros, Ancient Mycenae and Delphi all within reach, plus great sailing and lots of scenic islands to discover. Our itineraries include a week in the Saronic Gulf visiting the islands of Poros, Aegina & Agistri as well as Ancient Epidavros and Korfos on the Peloponnese coast. Our Gulf of Corinth route is just as attractive with the uninhabited Alkioni Isles, Antikyra (for Delphi) picture postcard perfect Galaxidi, Trizonia Island and the Peloponnese coast on offer. Both itineraries offer the opportunity to transit the spectacular Corinth Canal.
Saturday departures from Corinth, May to October, every Sunday.
