Saronic Gulf & Corinth Canal Flotilla

A tale of two spectacular gulfs

Join us in the seaside town of Kiato, close to Corinth for the 2024 season, as we return after the reopening of the Corinth Canal. One week sees us explore the Gulf of Corinth, an area off the radar for most sailors. Set foot in the quaint harbors of Galaxidi and Trizonia, where ancient charm meets modern allure, and immerse yourself in the rich culture and captivating landscapes that define this region. To the east our Saronic route beckons, offering a voyage through the iconic Corinth Canal itself. See engineering marvels that have connected the Aegean and Ionian Seas for centuries as we make our way towards the sun-drenched shores of Aegina, Poros, and Epidavros in the idyllic Saronic Gulf.

Each day presents a new opportunity for exploration, whether it’s wandering through cobblestone streets lined with bougainvillea or soaking in the breathtaking views from ancient ruins overlooking the sea. Join us as we embark on this unforgettable odyssey, where every moment is filled with adventure, beauty, and the promise of discovery.

Seafarer Flotilla Sailing through the Corinth Canal

Area Information

The town of Kiato, close to Corinth, is nestled between the Peloponnese and mainland Greece, an area that boasts a rich tapestry of history, where ancient ruins blend seamlessly with modern life. The Gulf of Corinth stretches to the west, offering stunning vistas of rugged cliffs and crystalline waters, inviting travelers to explore its hidden coves and picturesque towns. Delphi, one of the most famous sites of Ancient Greece is perched in the mountains above another highlight, Galaxidi, just two of the amazing places in this quiet sailing area.

Through the Corinth Canal to the east, the Saronic Gulf captivates with its tranquil allure, where azure waters gently caress sun-kissed shores. Nestled within this enchanting expanse lies Epidavros, renowned for its ancient theater, a testament to Greece’s enduring cultural legacy and architectural mastery.

Skippered Flotilla Sailing

While these yachts are generally skippered by guests themselves who hold the correct qualifications we can also provide a skipper for those with no prior sailing experience. This will still have all the benefits of sailing as part of a flotilla, meeting others in the evenings or during the day, organised activities for the kids as well as all the usual benefits of yachting, like exploring, swimming in secluded bays during the day, and the simple joy of travelling under sail.
