Vounaki Flotilla Holidays in Greece

A Vounaki Base flotilla holiday, in Greece’s southern Ionian Sea, is an ideal choice for everybody.

Families with children, couples, or a skipper with a less experienced crew can enjoy the easy sailing, while the stunning scenery within this sailing area can be enjoyed by all, whatever your level of experience. Mainly line-of-sight sailing in protected waters makes for the ultimate in relaxing flotilla sailing.

With a huge variety of picturesque anchorages such as Abelike Bay to choose from and Cephalonia, location of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, to visit, flotilla sailing here has plenty to offer.

Terrific snorkelling and superb windsurfing at Vassiliki Bay, not to mention the penultimate night BBQ with the rest of the flotilla, combine to ensure a Vounaki Base flotilla holiday will be one to remember.

A one-week Vounaki Base flotilla holiday is suitable for sailors with minimal previous sailing experience and for those still honing their skills. As a cruising ground, the gentle waters of the southern Ionian Sea are a perfect choice for those looking for a no-stress sailing holiday.

From April to November, winds are generally north-westerly, ranging from 10 to 15 knots (11 - 17 mph), with calms in the morning and temperatures ranging from 23 – 33 C (74 - 90 F). Tides are minimal and you don't need to worry about strong currents.
