Route Detail

During the July and August family holiday period, our one week "Paxos" flotilla switches to our two week "Emerald Waters" route, running alongside our Beneteau yachts which sail this route for the entire season.

Our two week "Emerald Waters" flotilla cruise visits favourite spots like Sayiadha, nestled in a deep bay close to the Albanian border. The general area around Sayiadha is a breeding area for prawns which are served by the kilo.

Local fish is the main item on the menu but carnivores can relax - meat is also available along with traditional Greek salad.

St Stephanos, a beautiful bay in the north eastern corner of Corfu and the village harbour of Kassiopi are also usually visited for their safe harbours and pleasant atmosphere.

Another favourite of ours is Petreti which remains a fishing village of a bygone age, but a fascinating place to spend the night. We have visited Petreti for 30 years and change has happened, but very slowly and this is the way we like it!

Colourful fishing boats line the quay and fishermen gather beside them mending their nets. This is one of the places where it might be beneficial to try to learn a few basic words of Greek!

Of course we will spend two or three days on Paxos Island with its quartet of classic Greek Island villages and harbours. Lakka even made the front cover of this year’s brochure, and Mongonissi offers great evenings of Greek dancing.

Parga is also a favourite with the short ferry ride to town with Yiannis, and streets that were only designed for donkeys. This is where we top up with water and supplies.

Mourtos town is also a favourite due to Angy's great food at the 'Blue Coast Taverna' and the great welcome of Andreas at the waterfront cocktail bar!

On our final day, we sail back to picturesque Plataria for our final night dinner. Olga will welcome you like a long lost relative and feed you really well!
