Corfu flotilla – 2 weeks

About the Corfu flotilla

The 2 week Corfu flotilla explores the areas north and south of Corfu. It’s an easy flotilla, ideal for the less experienced and a great introduction to the north Ionian.

Depending which week you start you will either go north first and then south, or vice versa. Over the middle weekend you will get a couple of days to sail where you wish, known as free sailing. The Lead Crew will brief you on options.

The flotilla reaches up to Greece’s most northerly islands, the Diapontia Islands, which translates as the Faraways. It goes as far south as the south end of Paxos, though you can get a little further south during your free sailing.

It’s a good mix of tranquil villages and livelier stops. There are countless swimming opportunities and the chance to try some watersports. For the culture vultures there are monasteries and archaeological sites to visit.

  • Parga
    A town steeped in history, Parga is as much a Greek holiday destination as an international resort. Built around its prominent Venetian Citadel perched on the promontory between two bays, the town has all you’d expect of a moderate size resort with a wide range of restaurants and plenty of narrow winding streets to explore. The ...

  • Agios Stefanos / Avliotes (NW Corfu)
    Agios Stefanos was once a small fishing harbour serving the nearby village of Avliotes. But the long sweeping beach north of the harbour soon drew the tourists. Modern accommodation and facilities for holiday makers have pretty much swamped the old village. If you are in need of supplies there are several supermarkets. Doctors, banks etc are ...

    • Sayiadha / Sagiada
      If you like prawns you’ll love the monsters served in Sayiadha. One of the less visited Ionian harbours (except when the flotillas call), it’s very Greek, despite its proximity to the Albanian border. For those who like their exercise, you can visit the old town, about an hour and a half’s walk up the hill, which ...

    • Petriti (Corfu)
      It’s hard to believe anywhere on Corfu can be as quiet as Petriti, or that this small village was only built in the last 50 years. Set amongst gently sloping olive groves, it’s a charming spot. The rocky bay includes a beach immediately south of the harbour and there are a couple of restaurants. Shopping opportunities are rather ...

      Mongonissi is a delightful bay between the beautiful islands of Paxos and Antipaxos. Much loved by the Italians, this area has a sophistication you wouldn’t normally associate with such a small place. Strong southerlies do not penetrate here and in the prevailing northerlies the quay is secure and serene. Whether you are on your own ...

    • Lakka (Paxos)
      For such a small town, Lakka offers plenty of things to do. Thrill seekers can take advantage of the many options at the watersports centre. If you want more time at sea, you can hire motor boats to explore the far side of Paxos. If you fancy time ashore, there are some lovely walks through the ...

    • Plataria
      Visiting yachtsmen aside, Plataria is off the tourist trail. Consequently, the excellent sand and shingle beach lined with palm trees is rarely busy although it’s just a few minutes walk from the harbour. The small town here dates back to around the 2nd Century BC, though it’s had a few name changes along the way. Considering how ...
