Yacht charter from Corinth, between two gulfs

The town of Corinth is a perfect base for your sailing holiday, about an hour’s drive from Athens and right next to the spectacular Corinth Canal. Close to the west entrance of the canal, it gives you a choice of two wonderful but very different sailing areas, or you can combine both over two weeks.

In the Saronic Gulf, islands such as Aegina, Agistri, Poros and Hydra are all within easy reach, as are great stops on the Peloponnese coast such as Old Epidavros, Vathy and Methana.

The Gulf of Corinth is much quieter, with stronger sailing winds and many places to explore, from the little-known Alkyonides islands to Trizonia and the historic seafaring town of Galaxidi. Add famous ancient sites such as Delphi and Mycenae, and this area has something for everyone.
