GREECE BEACH CLUB ACTIVITY HOLIDAY CHOICES

About the sailing:
The very light winds of Sivota provide flat, calm waters, ideal for waterskiing and wakeboarding. Beginners to sailing and windsurfing enjoy this gentle environment, though intermediate sailors will rarely be challenged. The sheltered waters and calm conditions make sailing for beginners ideal.

Novice or expert waterskiers and wakeboarders can make the most of the flat water throughout the day, with the premium package available for those who are really keen. Also popular is the option of a pre-breakfast swim over to the island.

For the more energetic, there is often a guided bike ride, fitball and stretch and tennis sessions before the sun reaches its height. One of the most popular activities is to take a kayak and explore the secluded coves surrounding the club. In the afternoon the sailing area extends beyond the island for intermediates to make the most of the breeze further out.

Alternatively, spend the day on one of our day yachts, making the most of the breeze outside the bay and exploring secluded bays further up the coast. As the sun dips in the sky, informal games of volleyball are organised, either in the pool or on the sand court. For those who prefer a gentler pace there is table tennis, boules or maybe a relaxing massage before a pre-dinner cocktail.
