Sailing lessons among Greek islands

“WHILE my husband and I were exploring the Greek islands of Kefalonia and Ithaki (Ithaca), we spent a week learning to sail with a terrific British company, Sea-Trek Adventures. We lived on a 27-foot yacht by ourselves in the port of Lixourion, a Greek town with plenty of modern amenities, and during the day learned to sail with our own personal instructor.”

From $995 per person, includes week’s stay on boat and lessons.
