Why Choose The Northern Ionian Explorer Flotilla?
Easy / Relaxing Sailing – Level 2
Ideal For Families
Club And Flotilla Option
Τhe Ionian explorer flotilla is ideal for those looking to enjoy the Ionian islands at a great time of the year – sailing can be more challenging, with more varied conditions than are generally found during the high season. The harbours and anchorages are a little quieter, giving you the chance to sail late into the afternoon.
We try to design our route to give some longer passages, heading further north than our regular flotilla routes, which gives the opportunity to visit harbours and ports that are not generally accessible on regular flotillas. For the first time we will also be visiting Saranda in Albania.
Each island offers something different, and we also try to visit a variety of overnight stops – larger towns like Corfu and Preveza, as well as the smaller island of Paxos and the mainland.
As the weather is changeable, this particular route may be subject to some changes, so a sense of adventure and a flexible approach is definitely part of the essential packing list!
