Peloponnese 2 week Flotilla
This two week flotilla allows for more free sailing and a thorough exploration of this classic sailing area, following a route designed to make the most of the sailing, taking in some longer passages. The following is an example route, designed to give you a taster of the places you may visit whilst on flotilla. Please note routes may change depending on the size of the flotilla, time of year and weather conditions.
Saturday - Porto Heli - Arrival Day
Our base in Porto Heli is ideally situated to enjoy the best that the Peloponnese has to offer.
Sunday - Plaka
Plaka is a small, pretty harbour lying at the head of a fertile valley, with a long pebble beach and a dramatic backdrop of high mountains.
Monday - Ieraka
Is a charming old hamlet located in a narrow bay. Typical picture postcard Greek whitewashed houses trimmed with cobalt blue and the odd taverna form a single line along the quayside.
Tuesday - Monemvasia
The historical port of Monemvasia is built on steep slopes; the beautiful medieval town with cobbled streets offers many excellent restaurants. A climb up a steep cliff path leads to the old town on top of the peninsula. The only surviving building on the top slopes is the precariously perched Byzantine church of Aghia Sofia.
