FLOTILLA PRICES from KORFOS/KIATO

The flotilla sails from Korfos, at the east end of the Corinth Canal. After you pass through the Canal, the Gulf runs out to the west, linking the Ionian with the Eastern Peloponnese.

The Gulf has limited islands but the route includes Trizonia with the option to visit the Alkyion Islands. In between, there’s a mix of small towns and villages.

There’s also a chance to visit the impressive ruins of Ancient Delphi. This is about 20 minutes taxi ride from Itea or a bit further from Galaxidi.

Though it looks sheltered on the map, the Gulf of Corinth gets some good winds, which accelerate down off the high hillsides. So it’s ideal for those with a flotilla or two under their belt.

The nearest airport is Athens, about an hour and a quarter away by road or a couple of hours by train.

Corinth flotilla Itinerary

Day	Miles	Destination
1: Sat	0	Kiato Kiato is a holiday town on the south coast of the Gulf of Corinth. It’s about 20 miles west of Corinth. The town is popular with Athenians wanting a break from the city as it has a direct rail connection. Kiato was originally focused on citrus and grape farming, and the raisins are allegedly famous. However, ... Read more
2: Sun	30	Antikyra (Andikirion) Antikyra is one of the main towns on the northern coast of the Gulf of Corinth. With its workman-like seafront of tavernas and shops, it makes a welcome change from the beach holiday villages that make up the usual fare for this coastline. Antikyra: View across bay Famous in ancient times for the healing qualities of its ... Read more
3: Mon	20	Galaxidi Galaxidi is one of my favourite ports of call in the Gulf of Corinth. This small dogleg of a harbour with its associated picture-perfect village maintains a semblance of peace despite being “discovered” in recent years. It’s also a handy start point for a visit to Ancient Delphi. If your crew is hankering after some heart ... Read more
4: Tue	20	Trizonia The island of Trizonia is a strange mixture of laidback charm, unfinished business and postcard views. A sleepy backwater that once had aspirations of becoming a yachting hub, Trizonia has had a clean up in recent years but sadly still hasn’t succeeded in realising its marina dream. Which may be no bad thing. Trizonia is unique ... Read more
5: Wed	35	Free sailing: For a visit to Delphi head to: Itea Itea is a working port and as such is a bit rough and ready around the edges. However, the locals are welcoming and the town manages to maintain a sense of calm. It’s a pleasant place to make landfall on your sailing holiday. Itea is only 20 a minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage site ... Read more or for a quiet night: Ormos Isidhorou Ormos Isidhorou is a small bay just south of Antikyra. The area is surrounded by high cliffs with impressive ravines, making for impressive anchorage. To the west side of the bay is a small beach which can be busy (and at times noisy) but things quieten down once the sun bathers go home. There’s a small ... Read more
6: Thu	34	Corinth Canal & Town Corinth is best known for the Corinth Canal. The canal links the Ionian and Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Peloponnese. But the historic town is also an important transport hub. Corinth Town Corinth is located at the narrow strip of land connecting the whole Peloponnese to the rest of Greece. Its strategic importance ... Read more
7: Fri	24	Check in. Korfos A pretty village set in a well sheltered bay, Korfos offers few facilities beyond a clutch of restaurants and bars, and basic provisions, but is worth a visit. Unusually for the area, the quayside is controlled by the two restaurants who have laid mooring lines. Use their quay and you’re expected to use their restaurant. It’s ... Read more
8: Sat	0	Check out and depart
Average	27	Note: you will do more miles than this!

More about the Corinth Flotilla

Yachts range from 33 to 46 feet including both newer and older models. The available fleet is fairly small and the location means bringing in reinforcements is not an option. So early booking is advisable.

The flotilla is reached via Athens airport. This has daily flights from the UK and many other international airports. So if you fancy a few days ashore before or after your sailing it’s easily done. Take in the sights of Athens or relax on Poros or one of the other nearby islands.
