“What a great time we had on our learn to sail holiday. The yacht was lovely and very well maintained. The instructors were excellent, Barry, Mick and then of course our instructor Shirley. What a lovely lady we had so much fun and laughter with her. Shirley has a wealth of experience and knowledge, she really knows her stuff and is a brilliant teacher. From the time of our initial enquiry to the office in the UK prior to booking the staff were very approachable and helpful. We can't fault our complete experience with Trek Adventures and definitely intend to go back. We would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for the very best learn to sail holiday.”

“Super week staying at Kostas Beach House Lixouri. Kostas was extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities at the Hotel were superb. Teenagers loved all the water sports and learnt to sail and windsurf. Instructors were organised and knowledgeable”

“Hotel. Fabulous! Family run, so welcoming and service was fantastic. Room was very comfortable and clean. Food was excellent and plenty of it and reasonably priced. Trek Beach Club. Possibly our error, but we went to this beach club to do paddle sports not sailing/windsurfing and we were limited by the weather on some days. It was frustrating that we couldn't paddle at the time of the day when the conditions were best - first thing/last thing, as the beach didn't open until 10am and closed at 6pm. Would have been useful if the information given has been clearer that paddle sports may be limited by the weather conditions in this location. Also, there is no mention of the hill walk down to the beach club or the lack of toilets there. The beach bar, run by the hotel, was great, however it would have been nice if food was available there at lunch times. Equipment. The only kayaks available were double kayaks, these were not suitable for one person to paddle. They were also in poor condition and the paddles provided were very old. The iSUPs available for the first part of our week were in poor condition with several broken fins, missing D-rings and heavy paddles. Thankfully the club received a delivery of brand new Fat Stick iSUPs half way through our stay. These were of excellent quality with great accessories and carbon paddles, they even came with seats so that they could be converted to a sit-on Kayak, which took away the issue with the double kayaks. I just hope that the new equipment is looked after better than the previous kit. Beach Club Staff. All the staff were extremely helpful, approachable and friendly. They made the sure that all guests were safe but were able to have fun and a good experience. UK Support. We had to change the date of this holiday twice, we originally booked in 2019 for 2020. The support given by the UK team was excellent and we are grateful that we were able to do this. Overall. We had a great holiday and we have recommended this beach club/hotel to our friends who have older kids that love sports and would like to learn windsurfing. It is possibly not the right location for us as paddlers, but we were able to take advantage of the calmer days and got a lot out of the holiday. Thank you very much.”

“We had a fantastic holiday in Kefalonia last year - the staff were brilliant (beach and hotel). The only downside was that the hotel wasn’t right in the beach and that its main purpose was for sailing etc - but BeyondBeach now have a new location which is (with sun loungers for when you’re not on the water) and we’re looking forward to enjoying that this year which I’m sure will qualify for a 5 star review. The correspondence pre-holiday has also always been great and the team are quick to respond - you feel like you’re dealing with someone who really does care about the customer experience. There was a little mix up with one of extra packages we pre-booked but they were quick to sort it out and refund.”

“We’ve had amazing holidays with BeyondBeach. We are a family of 5 (3 teenage children) and we have done the Learn to Sail, Flotilla and beach club and we can recommend all very highly! Everything is well organised, and the UK office is extremely helpful with booking and answering any questions. The learn to sail was a great way to get your qualifications while having a lovely holiday in such a beautiful place. We had a fantastic week on flotilla - the lead yacht crew were super friendly and guided us through everything. We stayed in some beautiful places and the daily suggested routes and anchorages gave the perfect mix of great sailing, independence and time relaxing on the boat and swimming in the stunning waters. Our second week each time has been in one of the beautiful villas (managed by lovely Kosta) at the Paliki beach club. Although we were in a villa, we ate most of our meals in the main hotel restaurant - the food is delicious and good value, and Babis and the rest of the hotel staff are like a lovely, friendly family. The water sports activities at the club were very good and we all enjoyed the various different options available. The beach team couldn't have been more lovely and helpful. The local town, Lixouri, is definitely worth a visit - the atmosphere in the evening is great and there is a large choice of restaurants. Thank you to all the BeyondBeach team for such unforgettable holidays!”

“We had a fantastic week of flotilla sailing in the Ionian Sea. Thanks particularly to the lead boat crew who were super organised, helpful and friendly. Great first experience of a family sailing holiday.”

“Customer service from start to finish was exceptional both in the UK & at Lixouri Bay Beach Club. The beach & hotel teams were amazing and were, like all Kefalonians, super friendly. We had a truly fantastic, fun holiday; met great, like minded people & are already planning our return trip with new friends!! Our 10 year old said it was better than a Disney holiday so what’s not to like? There is something for everyone plus some and the Beach Bites night is not to be missed…”

“100% Reference for Trek-adventures.co.uk Introduction to Sailing - June 2023 One Week on board the Bavaria 32 named Leo 11, based at Lixouri Harbour, Kefalonia If you are unsure exactly how, or if, you want to develop your yen to go Sailing, then the Introduction to Sailing Week offered by Trek adventures in Kefalonia, Greece is a 100% recommend. This is the Walk don’t Run approach that takes you from a novice to the point where you can now take an educated view of where you want to go next. In developing your sailing journey you now can visualise options that are now appropriate to you, you can see various roadmaps that actually make sense going forward. More courses? More qualifications? Joining a flotilla? Be the crew for a qualified captain when chartering a boat, get some hours under your belt as Crew? or get qualified yourself? The Med or The Solent? A 32 footer or something bigger or smaller? You may not know everything but in the case of myself and my neighbour (both landlubbers) this week was superb, we have no complaints at all, trek-adventures.co.uk in Lixouri, Kefalonia was a gentle and simple introduction to sailing, it delivered on its promise. And of course this recommendation would not be complete without a huge mention that our Skipper/instructor, Barry, had the patience of a 'saint' and felt passionately about his job as tutor and was able to impart his obvious knowledge and experience clearly and without fuss making the experience so much more than just a holiday!!! I could go on, the Gulf of Argostoli is a fantastic benign location for learning to sail and Lixouri is a working town unspoilt by tourism but the best advice I can give is just go there.”

“What an amazing experience that we would recommend to anyone who thought about a sailing course, this course gives you everything that you need to become confident with the support of the team, our trainer Mick was exceptional with great patience tested at times but with a smile at the end.”

“Very friendly helpful staff both from Trek & the Hotel at Paliki Bay & a great family holiday. We were in a group of 15 (3 families of 5) & all were keen to use facilities. I appreciate that often other families aren’t the same but it was frustrating at times (mainly for beginners amongst us) when lessons used all the available kit meaning there was non available for those wanting just time on the water. The situation was also complicated by being nearly at the back of the sign up queue (by virtue of sitting on the far side of the terrace at the briefing). This could be easily resolved by a few more Topaz boats, a few more windsurf boards & sails. These could be shared between the 2 sites depending on predicted/actual levels of demand each week. That said, we all managed to get on the water & had a lovely week. With a bit more kit, we would definitely consider a return.”

“Our whole family had the most brilliant time at Lixouri bay. From booking until check out; everything was seamless. Our holiday was equally relaxing and active with both ourselves and our girls having learnt new skills taught to us by attentive and enthusiastic instructors. We loved our week in Kefalonia and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again!”

“This was a more affordable holiday than the bigger companies we had been with before (Mark Warner/Neilsen) and we liked the relaxed atmosphere, were impressed with the admin before our holiday and the resort staff were friendly & helpful. Villa Mitis (Kefalonia) was a lovely spacious villa close to the beach. A lovely relaxing week.”
