Full Itinerary

Ionian Greece 2026: Seven Islands, One Crew 🇬🇷

Forget the usual holiday: this is the week where “hellos” instantly turn into friendships. It all begins on Saturday in Corfu with the first toasts, before setting sail toward the wild blue of Erikoussa. Monday is for exploring Mathraki, but the real thrill comes at midnight: an epic night sail under a billion stars toward the heart of the myth.

Tuesday’s dawn will reveal the paradise of Antipaxos, with waters so bright they’re blinding, followed by a chic evening among the charming alleys of Paxos. On Wednesday, we’ll be enchanted by Parga, a postcard-perfect clifftop village, while Thursday brings the explosion of our final boat party at the Blue Lagoon: music, rafted boats, and synchronized dives. Friday we head back to Corfu for the last sunset toasts before Saturday morning’s farewells.

Seven days, four boats, an indescribable energy. Unplug. Sail & Have Fun.

  • IMBARCO

    Our journey begins in Gouvia (Corfu). Check-in: 5:00 PM

  • SBARCO

    Our journey ends in Gouvia (Corfu). Check-out: 09:00 AM

  • Boarding in Corfu

    Saturday

    The Crew is Born! We step on board at Gouvia Marina: cabin assignments, a quick briefing, and then off for the provisions run (the first true group ritual). The afternoon is all about settling in, getting a feel for the boat, and most importantly, getting to know each other: four crews, one single atmosphere.

    The evening brings our first dinner together and the flotilla’s opening party—the moment where “hellos” turn into names, and names already become friends.

  • First Bays, First Sunsets, First Boat Party

    Sunday

    We set sail early: dives at Nisis Vido, lunch at anchor in Galiskari, and then on toward Erikoussa. We arrive in the afternoon with a sunset at sea and our flotilla’s signature evening: drinks, dinner, and a party under the stars.

  • Wild Islands & Night Sailing Magic

    Monday

    A morning of swimming and relaxation in Mathraki, followed by Othonoi with its breathtaking waters and (weather permitting) cave explorations and excursions. At midnight, the adventure truly begins: night sailing toward Antipaxos. Relaxed watches, a sky full of stars, and the flotilla gliding through the dark like a small, epic odyssey.

  • Dreamy Antipaxos, Then Paxos Lights Up

    Tuesday

    Dawn and anchoring in paradise: Paralia Voutoumi (and nearby bays), turquoise waters, and a postcard-perfect lunch. In the afternoon, we arrive at Paxos (Gaios): mooring, a stroll through the narrow alleys, and the harbor all lit up. The evening: dinner and a night out on land, clubs, toasts, laughter, and that special vibe that turns the group into a true crew.

  • Scenic Parga: The Night You’ll Remember

    Wednesday

    A short sail toward Parga: a clifftop village, incredibly picturesque, surrounded by stunning bays.
    An evening on land among the narrow streets, dinners with a view, and authentic Greek vibes: Parga is one of those places that stays with you forever.

  • Blue Lagoon & Party Time!

    Thursday

    Setting sail for the Blue Lagoon: diving into crystal-clear waters and choosing the perfect bay at a glance.
    After lunch: the final boat party with the fleet rafted together, music, drinks at anchor, and group photos to capture the moment.

  • Last Dives, Last Toasts... and Back to Corfu

    Friday

    Returning to Gouvia, refueling, and then one last bay for lunch and a swim.
    The evening: the final party, numbers exchanged, and that classic promise: “See you again soon!”

  • Hugs & Farewells

    Saturday

    Disembarkation by 9:00 AM.

How to get here

How to reach Gouvia (Corfu)?

By Plane
The nearest airport is Corfu International Airport “Ioannis Kapodistrias” (CFU). From the terminal, you can reach Gouvia by taxi or rental car in approximately 10–20 minutes, depending on traffic and your specific destination on the island. There is also a local/intercity bus service with stops toward Corfu Town and various resorts along the east coast that serves the Gouvia area. For those arriving at mainland airports (Athens, Thessaloniki), connections are available via domestic flights or by traveling overland and taking a ferry to Corfu.

By Ferry / Hydrofoil
The main maritime connections to Corfu depart from the Port of Igoumenitsa. Regular ferry and hydrofoil services operate between Igoumenitsa and the Port of Corfu, with travel times ranging from 1 to 2 hours depending on the type of vessel. The companies covering this route include national and local operators, with increased frequency during the summer season. From the Port of Corfu or the main pier, you can continue to Gouvia—located on the island’s eastern coast, a short distance from the central port—via taxi, local bus, or car.

Is our Ionian Greece sailing holiday right for you?
  • Yes, if you dream of a week surrounded by turquoise waters in the company of new friends.
  • Yes, if you want to live aboard a sailboat that will be your home among secret bays and charming Greek harbors.
  • Yes, if you are looking for the perfect mix of sailing, sunset drinks, and boat parties filled with music and laughter.

The Different Sailing Ionian Flotilla is an experience tailor-made for you: an unforgettable journey where relaxation meets adventure. Our target age is 23–45, and our goal is to create balanced crews to guarantee the perfect vibe. Together, we will share dives into paradises reachable only by sea and magical evenings, immersed in one of the most fascinating corners of the Mediterranean.

Our Philosophy

Those who join our Ionian Greece flotilla share a love for the sea, nature, fun, and the sailing lifestyle. Our itinerary, shared by all boats in the fleet, features swimming stops in the most beautiful and wild bays of the Ionian Islands, discovering hidden corners reachable only by sea. These moments are balanced with social events and parties both on board and ashore: sunset drinks, dinners in charming Greek harbors, evenings together, and boat parties.

Life on board is an integral part of the experience and relies on everyone’s collaboration, taking care of one’s own space, and respecting the boat’s equipment—all within a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

Our boats

FAQ

Where does the skipper sleep?

If all cabins are occupied by guests, the skipper—and any other crew members, if present—will sleep in the dinette (the common living area inside the boat).

How are cabins and berths assigned?

Double cabins are usually assigned to those traveling as a couple. If you book individually, you will share a cabin with another traveler of the same gender. The final crew lists and cabin assignments for the flotilla will be finalized and communicated close to the departure date to account for all bookings.

Can I book a private cabin for one person?

No, it is not possible to reserve a cabin for single use. All cabins are shared among participants to maintain our group travel formula.

How is the galley (food and supplies) managed?

After the initial briefing, the crews will head to one of the supermarkets near the boarding port for the very first group ritual: shopping for the week’s supplies!

Who takes care of meal preparation?

The atmosphere on board is relaxed and informal, and everyone is involved in daily activities—such as cooking and keeping the boat tidy—to embrace the spirit of sharing that defines this type of holiday. Tasks that might seem like chores at home become pleasant moments of conviviality and connection with the group.

What kind of luggage should I use?

A soft duffel bag is required so that it can be easily folded and stored away. Please avoid hard-shell suitcases and trolleys, as they are difficult, if not impossible, to stow on board. A small backpack or a beach bag can also be useful for trips ashore.

Do I need experience to participate?

No, no previous sailing experience is required to participate in this adventure.
