🚨 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:

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

🌟The Kirki crew would like to say a huge thank you to all our wonderful sailors for a fantastic season!🌟

🏝️We’ve shared some unforgettable memories and have visited many beautiful places all over Greece!🏝️

📍From starting our journey in Corfu, sailing our boats around the bottom of the Peneloponnese to our base in Orei. And then a fantastic sail back to Corfu through the Corinth Canal! What an experience!📍

🩵With lots of love from Liv, George and Emily! Kirki out!🩵
