1 Gouvia marina -
arrival day |
 |
|
Corfu
island |
 |
Arriving at Gouvia Marina you will be met by the flotilla crew who will
get to know you -and vice versa- and hand over your yacht. After the
check-in, depending upon the time of your arrival, you can do some
shopping rest or go for a swim. In the evening you will have your
first dinner together, with the other members of the flotilla so that
introductions can be made, in one of the local taverns in Kontokali
village, which is located right outside of Gouvia marina. |

2 Gouvia marina - Agni Bay (8 nm) |
|
After
the skipper's briefing (not very early) you set sail for Agni Bay, a small
village on mainland Greece. Agni means un-spoilt in Greek
and this describes the bay perfectly. Situated on the North East Coast
set amongst the olive groves growing either side of the bay. It is not a
'resort' as there are just three tavernas (each with their own jetty for
mooring up to) and a couple of local buildings. The bay is reached
mainly by little rented motor boats. Yachts and large motor cruisers
also frequent this little bay. |
| |
|
| Day
3 Agni Bay - Sayada (10 nm) |
|
From
Agni bay you will sail across to Sayada village in mainland Epirus.
Sayada is a
friendly little village untouched by tourism. The
local tavernas are recommended as a good place to eat fresh
prawns and fish at good prices.
|
| |
|
| Day
4 Sayada
- Agios Stefanos (12 nm) |
|
Again the passage across to
Corfu, to the picturesque village of Ag. Stefanos, a small inlet
in the North Corfu Channel. Although a number of holiday villas
have been built here, the bay retains a calm and beauty well worth the
stop for the night. |
| |
|
| Day
5
Agios Stefanos - Mourtos (Sivota) (24 nm) |
|
On
the very next morning you set sail for Mourtos, a small village on
mainland Greece, hidden behind a group of tiny islands, called Sivota.
Mourtos has a beautiful boulevard and a number of terraces along with to
stroll, take a cold drink and admire one of the most beautiful sunsets
in the area. |
| |
|
| Day
6 Mourtos -
Petriti (9 nm) |
|
Our
return to the shores of Corfu starts with the authentic fishing village of
Petriti.
You can watch the fishermen sailing out in the evening and returning the next morning with
that night's catch. Dinner at the local taverns is always accompanied with one
-maybe two- glasses of ouzo, the local aperitif. |
| |
|
Day
7 Petriti - Gouvia marina (18 nm) |
|
Regrettably, the last sailing day has come and
you sail back to Gouvia marina, where we tie up at the same place from
where we had departed two weeks ago. On the way there, are many
bays to stop for that last lunch and swim in the Ionian Sea.
Note
Two week sailors will not return to Gouvia Marina, but
they will enjoy a free day. You will meet with the flotilla again
on the next day and sail the South Corfu itinerary for the next week. |
