The seas around Greece are heaven for sailors. You can potter from one picturesque island to the next with a choice of sailing conditions, from the gentle breezes of the Ionian to the open, Meltemi-wooshed waters of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. If you are not sure of your skippering skills, join a flotilla and sail under the eye of a lead boat. 
If you’re new to the world of sailing, a two-week Stay & Sail holiday will teach you all you need to know. During the first week, which is spent ashore, you can learn the ropes on a 4-day RYA Introduction to Yachting course. No previous experience is necessary.
If you have sailed before, you can spend your first week tackling a range of other activities including windsurfing, dinghy sailing, waterskiing, and tennis, or just relax by the pool and soak up the sun.
Your second week is spent afloat, taking the helm of your own yacht as part of a flotilla. Enjoy Mediterranean sunshine and clear seas from the deck of your yacht as you sail from one village harbour to the next, discovering secluded coves, beaches and islands along the way.
The lead crew are always on call and available to help should you require assistance. If not, you are free to enjoy the excitement and independence of life on the open seas.
You can also learn to sail off the coast of Devon.
