Two Week Saronic Islands & Peloponnese Coastal Villages Flotilla
The Saronic flotilla provides a easy sailing experience in the Argolic and Saronic Gulfs, starting and ending in Astrous. Each route offers unique stops, sailing south to Tiros, Plaka, or Kiparissi, with possible visits to Monemvasia and the islands of Spetses, Dhokos, and Hydra. Highlights include beach dining in Tiros, serene waters in Plaka, and historic ruins in Ieraka. Monemvasia offers turtle sightings and wine tasting, while Dhokos Island provides stunning sunset views. The journey often includes a stop at Navplion to explore its cultural sites and the Palamidi fortress before concluding with a final evening at a traditional taverna in Astrous.

Sailing conditions
This region provides good winds throughout the season, typically with the best sailing conditions in the afternoon. During the summer, the Meltemi winds may blow from the northwest, providing excellent sailing conditions with minimal swell. However, these winds can be stronger than what some sailors might be accustomed to, so prior experience with a flotilla or other sailing activities is advisable before embarking on this cruise.
Places to explore
The first few days of the flotilla may be spent sailing south along the Eastern coast of the Peloponnese visiting some of the most beautiful ports the coastline has to offer including Tiros, Plaka and Kyparissi. The flotilla will try to visit the stunning port of Monemvasia (weather permitting). Alternatively you may cross the Argollic Gulf to Nafplion, Ermioni and as far as Poros. Dhokos Island is a popular spot along this coast where we often host flotilla beach parties in the large sheltered bay with spectacular sunsets.

Reviews
I really can't praise our lead crew enough -so grateful for their attitude, positivity, and kindness especially as we were on a mini-honeymoon; they even bought us a bottle of prosecco on the last night as a wedding present!
I loved the relaxed pace of the holiday and the chance to visit some exceptional areas and meet interesting people. I think Sailing Holidays offers an unbeatable mix of a relaxing fun holiday.
Thoroughly enjoyed the route. We were very pleased to get down to Monemvasia - always wanted to go here and we certainly weren't disappointed. Good mix of islands and mainland.
This route was a good mix of bay stops, quiet areas and busier ports. The lead crew were friendly helpful and worked really hard to make our holiday as relaxed and enjoyable as it was
The sailing, the locations, the activities, the food - everything we would want from a holiday. The lead crew ensured we had a wonderful time. They were competent and confident which allowed us to enjoy ourselves knowing we were being looked after.
Our lead crew were brilliant, they really tried hard to make sure everyone was happy - this was their first flotilla in this area and were learning about the locations as we went. Absolutely fabulous
A thoroughly enjoyable two week holiday. The team from Sailing Holidays were the best we have had, but then we have always been well looked after on all the holidays we have taken with this company.
