Kefalonia to Korfos Explorer Flotilla

The end of our summer season in Kefalonia is marked by a fantastic one way trip heading East. It’s farewell but not goodbye to our friends in Kefalonia as we head off – first to Ithaca and Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea before turning west and heading into the Gulf of Patras. First stop in the gulf is on the northern shore, and a visit to Messalonghi, where Byron spent his final days, before we cross to the northern coast of the Peloponnese and a visit to Patras, the third largest city in Greece. From there we sail under the spectacular Rio bridge and head for Trizonia, a gem of an island, on the way to Galaxidi. South-east from here, we visit Antikyra and the lovely unspoilt islands of the Alkyonides before reaching Corinth town. The next day sees us cross this iconic landmark and entering the Saronic gulf before reaching our winter port of Korfos and the end of our odyssey.

The weather in October can be changeable, with typical daytime temperatures in the mid 20s with slightly cooler evenings. Wind strength is typically force 3 to 5, although be prepared for stiffer breezes at this time of year. With warm daytime temperatures and water that has been heated during the summer, a swim is still a very pleasant experience.
