Flotilla sailing holidays in Greece
Greece Flotilla Sailing Holidays
Greece is the cradle of flotilla holidays. It’s also where we offer our widest choice of sailing areas, in the most idyllic environment.
Flotilla holidays in Greece
The Greeks have been a nation of seafarers since time immemorial. That is no surprise, since large parts of their homeland are islands or virtually inaccessible by land. Homer called these waters his ‘wine-dark sea’, while Helen of Troy was the legendary ‘face that launched 1,000 ships’.
This eastern end of the Mediterranean has always been both a highway and a crossroads. Meanwhile, its shores have provided safe harbour for the travellers and adventurers of history. Today, their legacy is your playground. Think picturesque harbours, atmospheric harbour towns, scenic bays and anchorages, Byzantine churches, crusader castles and ancient temples.
We have flotilla options in Greece to suit everyone. More adventurous sailors should set a course for the Dodecanese, or the Northern Sporades and Pelion coast. Meanwhile, those looking for a more leisurely time will enjoy the clement waters of our South Ionian flotillas.
Seafaring in Greece: an all-time classic
- Leisurely sailing in the clement waters of the South Ionian

Greece flotilla holidays: your questions
Straight answers to the questions we are asked most about our Greek flotillas.

020 8324 3118 Get a quoteWhich Greek flotilla is best for beginners?
The Ionian Lefkas Flotilla, with easy and relaxing sailing and around 10 nautical miles a day. Kefalonia is relaxing and protected, with a little more adventure in every passage, and the Saronic Gulf and Corinth Canal flotilla is varied and interesting. The Sporades and the Dodecanese have fresher winds, for more experienced sailors.
Where are your flotilla bases in Greece?
Nikiana harbour on Lefkas, Agia Eufimia on Kefalonia, Kiato and Korfos for the Corinth Canal and Saronic Gulf flotilla, Loutraki harbour on Skopelos for the Sporades, and Kos Marina for the Dodecanese.
Which airport do I fly to?
Preveza for Lefkas (around 30 minutes to the base), Kefalonia International for Kefalonia (around an hour), Athens for Kiato and Korfos (around 75 minutes), Skiathos for the Sporades (then a direct ferry to Skopelos) and Kos for the Dodecanese (around 30 minutes).
When can I sail in Greece?
Our weekly Greek flotillas sail from May to October, and explorer flotillas sail early and late in the season, such as the Messolonghi to Korfos Explorer in April.
How much does a Greek flotilla cost?
Yacht prices start from £1,684 for one week (Bavaria 33, 9 May 2027, Ionian Lefkas Flotilla). Prices are per yacht, so the cost per person depends on how many of you share it, and every flotilla page shows its full dates, prices and special offers.
Can I sail through the Corinth Canal?
Yes. The Saronic Gulf and Corinth Canal flotilla transits the canal every week, on one-way routes between Kiato and Korfos.
Can I sail for two weeks?
Yes. Every weekly flotilla sails two different routes in alternate weeks, so two weeks lets you sail both, with twice the harbours and just one flight each way.
Do I need sailing experience?
We recommend that the skipper holds an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) as a minimum: the RYA Day Skipper Practical course makes you eligible, and we can arrange the ICC assessment. With no qualifications yet, you can book a skippered flotilla and sail with a professional skipper, or learn first at our RYA training centre in Greece.
