Pelagos Flotilla in Greece

Milina is Sunsail’s base for the region of Greece known as the Sporades. It is an pretty village located within the beautiful Gulf of Volos.

The Pelagos and Trikeri flotilla holidays run the same route on alternate weeks throughout the season and explore the very best of what the Sporades have to offer, taking in the most remote, easterly islands of the archipelago.

The Sporades offer stunning blue water bays, playful dolphins and an abundance of excellent Greek tavernas.

Pelagos and Trikeri flotilla sailing is suitable for those confident in their yachting skills who will enjoy the opportunity to ‘go it alone’ on free sailing days.

The seas of the Gulf of Volos tend to be sheltered with more challenging conditions as you head out towards the islands.

Winds range from 10 – 20 knots (11 - 23 mph), but when the Meltemi is blowing from the north-east during the summer months it can be stronger, making Pelagos and Trikeri flotilla sailing suitable for experienced sailors who will enjoy the challenge of solo exploration.

There are a good variety of short and long hops, with line-of-sight navigation throughout. Summer weather is generally sunny and warm, with temperatures averaging 30 C.
