YOUR SHORE-BASED WEEK

During your week ashore there are plenty to keep you entertained, depending on which location you choose. If you are looking to get back out on the water you can rent motor boats, take a dive course, or even take one of our yachts out for a day sail, if available. Hiring a car is popular and gives you the opportunity to explore all around Lefkas and the Greek Mainland.

If it is relaxation you are after, you will be pleased to know that all of our accommodation options have a swimming pool. The Salvator Villas and Spa Hotel also has an in-house spa – a luxurious way to unwind. Not to mention the gorgeous infinity pool at Villa Meandros - complete with a truly spectacular view over Sivota Bay.

YOUR SAILING WEEK

Your sailing week will start with a comprehensive briefing on all aspects of your yacht, followed by a short first day sail. This will be about 10 miles in relatively sheltered waters. Most days thereafter will be a similar distance of no more than 15 miles.
