A week-long flotilla through the South Ionian with the ISSA sailing community: informal racing, shared dinners, hidden bays and island culture, starting from our base in Vliho Bay.
Join sail2day and the ISSA community for an unforgettable week in the Ionian Sea. From 3 to 9 October 2026, we set sail from Lefkada to discover hidden bays, vibrant culture, and the true soul of sailing.
The Festival of Sails brings together sailing skills and the Mediterranean way of life. Whether you are an experienced skipper sharpening your skills or a newcomer looking forward to your first sunset at sea, there is informal racing, team building and plenty of culture for everyone.
Swap tips, techniques and sea stories with fellow sailors as you explore the Ionian coastline together. It is a rare chance to connect, learn from each other, and make friends for life.
Setting sail from Lefkada into the South Ionian: short coastal legs, gentle weather, pine-fringed bays, fishing ports, seaside tavernas and ancient Greek history.
Friendly races between destinations to see who catches the Ionian breeze best.
On Day 2 and Day 6 we eat together, tasting authentic Greek flavours and regional dishes.
No engines, no oars. Just creativity, teamwork and a lot of laughter on the beach.
An evening of mixology, friendly rivalry and fun on the water.
Explore the Ionianβs hidden bays and secluded turquoise coves.
Fishing villages, historic towns and Greek traditions along the way.
