Southern Ionian Explorer Flotilla

Flotilla Charter · 14 nights · Nikiana, Lefkas

About This Flotilla

A one-off, two-week season-closing voyage that links the whole southern Ionian into a single itinerary — from Lefkas down through Kalamos, Ithaca and Kefalonia, across to the ancient site at Olympia via Katakolon, and on to Zakynthos, before looping back north.

Priced as two weeks for the cost of one, it's the longest flotilla route Medsail offers in Greece, sailing once a year at the very end of the Ionian season.

Frequently Asked Questions

A flotilla is a small group of yachts sailing the same route together, each skippered independently by its own crew, with a lead boat carrying an experienced flotilla skipper and host to plan the route, help with mooring, and organise social evenings ashore.
Yes, a basic sailing qualification and some experience is expected since you skipper your own yacht — but the lead boat and support crew are there to help throughout the week, making it a great step up for less experienced sailors.
On a bareboat charter you sail entirely independently. On a flotilla, you still skipper your own boat, but sail as part of a group with a lead boat setting the route and providing support and company along the way.
The yacht for your group, the lead boat and flotilla skipper/host, a planned daily route, and organised welcome and social evenings. See the Included/Excluded list on each flotilla for full details.
