Our journey though the📍Lefkas Canal was fab! We kicked things off with a beautiful sunrise sail, then passed through the bridge smoothly with superb Bridge Day costumes! 🥳🤩🌅😂

From the bridge we headed straight to📍Parga, where we enjoyed two fabulous days! 😁👏

Beaching the boats…amazing food…fun drinks…super swimming…exploring the town and castle…a visit to the Acheron River…relaxing on board…a lovely cocktail briefing - what more could you ask for?! 🤗🌊🚤⛵️🏰🍸

The next stop was📍Lakka, where we continued the fun with another cocktail briefing and quiz! 🍹🍻🗒️✏️ The scores were pretty close, but it was ‘Old Crocs and George and Rosie’ who were our champions! 🌟🏆🎉

We’ve all been having so much fun! 😁

After Big Vathi, we headed to📍Frikes with a great day’s sailing! ⛵️ Here we had a great cocktail briefing and celebrated Megan’s birthday! 🥳🍹🍾 Our crews also enjoyed walking up to the windmill for some brilliant views down to our rafts, with some even getting up early for a beautiful sunrise walk! 🌅

We also gained a new crew member…Bob the watermelon, who was gifted a mystery shirt as he was perched on Elpida’s deck. 🍉🧐 He has had a great time so far, enjoying the gorgeous Ionian Sea and even having a go at being at the helm! ⛵️😂

Our next stop was📍Kalamos, where we had a wonderful group meal! We (including Bob) all loved having a chat and sharing stories over delicious - and massive - meals, followed by more cocktails! 🍽️🍻🍸🤗

📍Little Vathi was our next destination. With more nice sailing and lovely swimming, it was a great place to relax ready for the following day’s adventure…🤩🌊

Coming up:📍Lefkas Canal!

Time flies when you’re having fun…and the start of this flotilla has been a cracker! 🤩🥳

We kicked things off with a sail from📍Nidri to Vasiliki, where we all got to know each other with a lovely punch party on the quay! 🍹🥒🫒🥨 It was so nice to chat with new friendly faces and have a laugh as the sun set! 🤗🌅

Day 2 took us to📍Fiskardo! Our crews enjoyed wandering around the waterfront and visiting the caves, before having delicious dinners in the evening and drinks to finish the night. 🍽️🍻🍸🌊🌟

Our third stop was📍Big Vathi, where a lot of our crews chose to free swing in the harbour.⛵️ The katabatic winds helped to keep everyone feeling cool as we enjoyed dinners either in town or on board! 😊

Our final few days included📍Kalamos, a📍Free Sail and coming back together for our final night in📍Nidri! 👏

We built a super raft in📍Kalamos and had a fun time at our cocktail briefing that evening, where our crews decided where they were going to head for their free sail! 🍹🍻

📍The next day they ventured to a number of different places, including Agia Euphemia, Kioni, Spartochori, Nidri and Kastos, and they were all fantastic destinations! ⛵️🗺️

It was lovely to reunite in📍Nidri for our final group meal (delicious!) and awards ceremony! We had a good laugh and reminisced about highlights of this flotilla. 🥳🏆🍽️

Thank you to our crews for a great two weeks, we hope to see you again! 🤩🌊

Our next destination was a fan favourite…📍Fiskardo! It’s such a special place that we decided to spend two days there! 🤩

En route, Persephone spotted a Mediterranean monk seal! 🦭 This is particularly exciting, as Kefalonia and Formikoula were breeding grounds for them but they have been less prevalent in the last few years. We are very happy to see one in the area! 🥳🌊

Fiskardo is a great harbour to stroll around - with tasty ice cream and delicious food found at every corner! 🍦🍽️ We visited the caves and had a great time exploring all the hidden caverns inside and listening out for the bats! 🦇 After that, we got together for a lovely cocktail briefing at Theodora’s to find out where we were headed next…then back together again after dinner for another drink at Greco’s.☺️🍹🍸🥃

📍Sivota was the next stop for us! A great place to have a wander up and down the waterfront to and from the shops and bakeries, before heading to a taverna for a fabulous meal and to the bar for a nice chat over a drink or two. 🍻🥂🥐🥖🛍️

It’s been a busy and fun few days!📍Lakka was a lovely stop for our crews. 🌺 We enjoyed getting together for a cocktail briefing before having a nice evening at the tavernas and bars. 🥂🍻

We then headed to📍Parga! Here our sailors had fun beaching the boats, having a swim and jumping on the water taxi to explore this exciting town! ⛵️🚤🥳

The next stop was📍Mongonissi, a peaceful harbour where gorgeous views were seen from the boats, taverna and on evening walks over the headland. 🤩🌅

After that, we journeyed through the📍Lefkas Bridge all the way to tranquil📍Spartochori - a lovely stop after a longer hop on the water! 🌊😌

We had some great costumes for the bridge crossing (including ‘Lead Crew Mk 2’ 😂) and one of our crews even made some flatbreads which they kindly shared with the flotilla! 👏

Persephone’s crew have been excellent wildlife spotters, with starfish, crabs and lots of fish found so far! 🦀🐟👏

We have had a great start to this flotilla! We kicked things off by travelling from📍Plataria to📍Sagiada, where we got together for a fabulous punch party! 🍹🍸 The perfect way to mingle and get to know each other, with some of our crews continuing that by eating their dinner together afterwards. 🤗

One of our crews even saw dolphins around their boat - an amazing experience, especially on Day One! 🐬

Our next stop received a particularly good cheer when we announced it, as we headed to📍Mandraki and our crews got to explore Corfu town! 🥳 The impressive fortress walls make for the most stunning approach to a harbour! 🤩

Our third stop was📍Refuge Bay - another beautiful location with gorgeous views! We enjoyed a delicious group meal on the private terrace as the sun set behind the hills.🌅🥗🍽️

Next stop:📍Lakka!

Our final day saw us head to📍Plataria, where we had a lovely group meal with the gorgeous sunset as our backdrop. 🌅 It was really nice to hear from our crews about their highlights of the flotilla! 🙌

There were then lots of laughs and heartwarming moments during our award ceremony! 🤩🏆

Thank you to all our crews for a brilliant couple of weeks, we will miss you! We hope to see you out here again 🥳⛵️🌊

Following Mongonissi, we had a📍free sail day! Our crews had a fabulous time visiting Gaios and Lakka - both of which were very picturesque and popular locations! 😍🌸

We then reunited in📍Refuge Bay, another fantastic spot! With the most incredible water, beautiful views and delicious food, our crews felt relaxed and in full holiday mode! 🌊🏖️🍽️

Our penultimate stop was📍Iggy Creek. We thoroughly enjoyed the conversations shared over a brilliant barbecue and having a sing and dance by candlelight! 🍗🥗🕺💃🕯️

Just as our morning briefing finished, dolphins were spotted in the entrance to the bay and we all shared a lovely moment watching them - it was so exciting seeing them jump and twist out of the water! A fabulous start to our final day and amazing timing! 🐬🥰
