🚨 ANOTHER NEW FLOTILLA ALERT! 🚨

OK, so our 3-weeker in June sold out quicker than we expected!

With the Saronic flotilla yachts now ending up in Nidri on 14th July after the 3-weeker, we're going to need to get them back to Astrous again for the rest of the season. So, we'll be running a one-off, 2-week Corinth Canal Cruise - in peak season!

Our flotillas have sailed this route previously many times, but only at the beginning and end of season when conditions can sometimes be a tad unsettled. We're really looking forward to trying it out in July and making use of the longer daylight hours and glorious Greek Summer sun! Plenty more time to relax, sail, and explore!

More details about this flotilla, on our website:

https://www.sailingholidays.com/flotillas/flotilla-offers/new-for-2024-2-week-corinth-canal-adventure

Seeing how quickly the 3-weeker sold, we're expecting this one to sail out the door as well, so get in there quick!
