In the Gulf of Corinth, you’ll have the opportunity to take in the ancient site of Delphi as well as the spectacular mountain railway. We are then going to rest for a day in the stunning town of Galixidi. We then head for Corinth and transit the iconic canal on our way to Epidavros and finally “home” to Korfos.

Departure Day
Disembark for return transfer to the airport, or to Athens if you are extending your stay.The Weather
Mid to late October in Greece does see some changeable weather, regardless of where we are sailing, so some lightweight waterproofs is a good idea. More benign conditions will be found at the start of the trip, ideal to get to grips with your yacht, with wind strengths of F3-5 during the first couple of days.
Once we get into the Gulf of Patras and Corinth, expect some freshening breezes, with F4-6 not uncommon.
Temperatures in the day should be “T-Shirt” weather, but the evenings will be cooler, so take a fleece so you can still enjoy al-fresco dining.
