Description

1 Week Yacht Sailing Flotilla Holiday from Nidri, Lefkas in the Southern Ionian Sea, Greece with Neilson.  The Ionian is one of the Mediterranean's most popular yachting destinations with gentle breezes and a scattering of picturesque islands and sheltered harbours offering the perfect introduction to sailing.

The Southern Ionian is ideal for the less experienced sailor due to its sheltered waters and generally shorter routes

Rising out of the clear, turquoise sea, midway between Greece and Italy, these fertile islands are a rich colourful tapestry of vineyards, olive groves and fruit orchards, setting them apart from the barren rocky terrain of other Greek islands.

One Week Flotilla
Any of our Stay and Sail yachts can be used for a one week flotilla holiday joining one of our Stay and Sail fleets in the northern or southern Ionian. The following are example routes, designed to give you a taster of the places you may visit whilst on flotilla. Please note routes may change depending on the size of the flotilla, time of year and weather conditions.

One week Flotilla in Southern Ionian

A great starting point for your flotilla, Nidri on the east coast of Lefkas enjoys lovely views of the wooded islets of Sparti, Madouri, Skorpidi and Skorpios.

Monday - Kalamos
Sailing from Nidri to your first flotilla stop of Kalamos, a sleepy village with a couple of great tavernas and a small pebble beach.

Tuesday - Vathi
The capital of Ithaka, Vathi is a small, colourful and busy town, set in a steep sided bay. There is much to explore including the probable site of Odysseus Palace.

Wednesday - Frikes
On the island of Ithaka, Frikes has a picture postcard setting at the bottom of a wooded ravine.

Thursday - Fiscardo
One of the most famous villages on Cephalonia, Fiscardo the St Tropez of the Ionian, is a picturesque village situated on the island’s northern tip. This is a great place to watch the rich and famous on their super yachts, but there are also some nice reasonable restaurants and lively bars.

Friday - Sivota
The scenic harbour of Sivota is situated on the island of Lefkas in an enclosed bay. En route it is possible to anchor in one of the few public bays on Onassis island.

Saturday - Nidri
Return to the Neilson base in Nidri, via the island of Meganisi, a cruising paradise with many excellent anchorages.

Sunday - Departure Day
You are free to enjoy the facilities of the Athos Hotel before your departure.

Marina and Mooring Fees

About Neilson
We've been around for around 25 years. We started as two separate companies, one providing top-end ski holidays and the other taking people sailing in Greece. For around two decades we became better and better at putting together holidays, one company doing fun things in the snow, the other having adventures in the Med. Then, in 1999, Thomas Cook, who owned both companies, decided that it would make sense for us to join together. That was when the famous orange logo appeared, and Neilson as we know it came into existence.
