The Whole Ionian is our flagship flotilla holiday.The flotilla leisurely navigates the Ionian Islands for two weeks, meandering from Corfu to Kefalonia and exploring many other stunning locations along the way. This route is perfect for your first or second flotilla or for those who simply want to return and reminisce. Depending on the date, this flotilla runs North to South (Plataria to Lefkas) or South to North (Leftkas to Plataria).

Sailing conditions

The regular afternoon breezes make this an ideal first flotilla for couples, young families or those making the step from dinghies to yachts. Most sailing days are a comfortable 12-15 miles between stops. But, for the keener sailors on board, there are one or two longer days of 20 miles or so which can offer fine winds and fun sailing.

Places to explore

There are numerous swimming locations to explore on this flotilla! Each island and town boasts its own distinct and vibrant charm. The islands range from breathtaking rocky cliffs and caves to gently rolling hills adorned with olive groves. Every destination features tranquil bays, inviting village harbours, and delicious cuisine.
