Yacht Holiday Offers - Peloponnese

Yacht Holiday Offers - Peloponnese 7 night flotillas from GBP478pp with Neilson.

The Peloponnese offers great sailing with an unspoilt stunning coastline to explore. The winds are very reliable with lighter breezes in the morning and steady force 3 and 4 breezes in the afternoon.

Our sailing area based around Porto Heli is a great base from which to explore the bustling tourist islands of Spetses and Hydra to the east and south east.

The Argolic Peninsula, studded with ancient ruins divides the eastern Saronic gulf from the western Argolic Gulf. Steeped in history, this fascinating part of Greece is a great sailing area with a stunning, unspoilt coastline waiting to be explored.

Our cruising area based around Porto Heli offers a good contrast in sailing. On the eastern coastline of the Peloponnese there are many secluded harbours and anchorages, as well as the historical towns of Mycenae, Epidavros and Navplion. Whilst the islands of Poros, Spetses and Hydra are some of the most popular destinations for yachts in Greece.

Poros only a few hundred metres off the Peloponnese coast was the home of Poseidon and a few remains of the Temple of Poseidon can still be seen. Just off the southern tip of the Peninsula is Spetses, much of which is covered with pine trees planted in the 19th century; the island is a hideaway for many visiting Athenians, giving it a stylish air. Tucked away at the top of the Argolic Gulf is Navplion, once the first capital of modern Greece, dominated by a Venetian citadel, which on a clear day affords views back down the Argolic Gulf to Porto Heli and Spetses.

South of Spetses, the Peloponnese is a great place to enjoy scenic, uncrowded sailing.The villages visited offer charming shoreside restaurants and an unbeatable welcome to all of our flotillas. The furthest point visited by our flotillas (conditions permitting) is Monemvasia. A medieval, Byzantine and Venetian fortress town perched on a distinctively shaped headland. The town is a must see, with a jumble of cobbled streets and stunning views over the sea. From your own yacht it’s very easy to imagine how it must have felt to try and invade these impressive fortifications. Monemvasia’s nickname is the Gibraltar of the East.

With slightly higher winds than the Ionian, mile upon mile of contrasting scenery, unspoilt harbours and anchorages, together with many places of great historical significance, the Peloponnese offers a sailing experience that should not be missed.
