BEACH CLUB SAILING HOLIDAYS IN GREECE

Accommodation is located amongst extensive grounds and gardens, which wind their way down a gradual incline towards the seafront. This layout ensures an uncrowded feel and peaceful setting to return to after a day on the water or relaxing around the pool.

The local village is approximately 15 minutes’ walk from the hotel and has a great selection of restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets and a number of lively bars and tavernas open until the early hours.

About the sailing :
The general pattern at this club is a morning Force 1-2 onshore wind, changing to a Force 2-3 cross shore in the afternoon. In high summer the Meltemi can override the local pattern giving stronger winds, but the enclosed nature of the bay gives a reassuring environment for skills improvement regardless of conditions or ability.

A wide range of dinghies offers variety and the opportunity to progress for everyone from beginners to experts. We make the most of our extensive fleet of asymmetric boats with highly qualified and experienced instructors. We offer racing five days a week, beginners are most welcome and the wide range of boats allows everyone to improve their sailing, regardless of age or ability.

A weekly day sail takes us out of the bay to a local taverna for a swim and lunch and when conditions allow we take improver groups out of the bay into the Argolic Gulf to experience higher winds and the opportunity to sail the RS 800.

Beginner and intermediate windsurfers will enjoy the mix of wind conditions, with flat water in the bay creating excellent conditions for learning the basics and intermediates to learn harness technique.

Mountain bikers will enjoy the wide open trails. Those willing to go further afield can experience more challenging climbs up to some fantastic viewpoints, fast, flowing descents and lots of technical singletrack trails.

Skippered day yachts are available for those who wish to enjoy the high seas in style or just have a taste of what a Stay and Sail holiday may have to offer. This is bookable in resort, subject to availability.

Scuba diving is also available to book locally and there is a qualified tennis coach on hand i July and August to help perfect your forehand and organise informal matches.

Accommodation:
There is a choice of twin, double and triple rooms, many have partial views of the bay while others look out over the gardens.
