Stay and Sail in the Ionian sea
You have a choice of two Stay and Sail bases in the Ionian, Nidri in the South and Sivota in the North. Both offer fantastic sailing.
Nidri has a beautiful location looking out onto a wonderful vista of pine clad islands and calm sparkling water sprinkled liberally with many colourful yachts. Nidri is Lefkas' busiest and biggest resort town, bustling with ferries, traditional fishing boats and visiting yachts. There is a great choice of cafés, tavernas, bars and shops, yet it is still laid back and retains a traditional feel.
In addition to yacht training we also offers a wide variety of children's clubs and inclusive activities such as windsurfing, dinghy sailing, waterskiing, mountain biking and tennis including tuition.

Your base for the first week is the Athos Hotel overlooking the yacht pontoon. With no beachclub, children's clubs and limited children's facillities the focus during the day rests with learning to sail, refreshing existing skills, relaxing around the pool and enjoying the resort of Nidri or the island's beaches.
The Retreat in Sivota is our only Beachplus Club which also provides yacht training. Located in a corner of rare natural beauty with tiny coves, green hills and secluded beaches, the aptly named retreat offers an idyllic base for your shore-based week.
