Kefalonia one-week flotilla

Begin your Ionian flotilla adventure in sunny Lefkas. Meet the lead crew and flotilla sailors who’ll share the experience with you at our base in Lefkas Marina, and get to know the beautiful yacht you’ll call home for the next week. Make the most of your time in Lefkas and explore the picturesque local town, or try some of the water sports the island is famed for.

Discover Lefkas

Thrilling kitesurfing

Head to Milos beach on the western shores of Lefkas for strong winds and high waves perfect for kitesurfing.

Use your first day on the water to sail south from Lefkas Marina along the island’s majestic mountainous coast. Drink in the views slipping by to starboard as you aim for Lefkas’ southern coast. Pass the broad peninsula at Apollonii, heading east towards the narrow inlet at Sivota. Rolling hills of fragrant pine frame this pretty waterside village, so make sure there’s room on your camera to capture one of the Ionian’s most photogenic spots.
