“Had a fantastic time at Paliki. We stayed in Kosta's villa, which was a small distance from the hotel. Lovely villa with a nearly private beach right on the doorstep, with umbrellas and equipment. The hotel had a lovely large pool with comfy sunbeds. Best part was the easily accessible watersports equipment, managed by wonderful friendly and helpful staff. It was so easy to take out boats, windsurfers, SUPs etc, and you felt well looked after by the safety boats. Our teenage kids were able to join in organised events by age group so had a brilliant time messing around with their peers. Nice restaurants within easy reach of the hotel. We had a car which helped, but most people walked. The whole holiday was fantastic - I really recommend it, we had a brilliant time and would love to do it again.”

“Just back from another amazing couple of weeks with Trek. We are a family of 5 (3 teenage children) and had such a great time last year and this time was just as good. Everything is well organised and Mark from the UK office is extremely helpful. We had a fantastic week on flotilla with Erika and Danny - they 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 and time relaxing on the boat and swimming in the stunning waters. Our second week was 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, happy family. The local town, Lixouri, is definitely worth a visit - the atmosphere in the evening is great and there is a large choice of restaurants. The water sports activities were very good and we all enjoyed the various different options available. Tom and the beach team couldn’t have been more lovely and helpful. We couldn’t recommend Trek more - thank you to all the team for such a lovely holiday!”

“Easy to book, very helpful on telephone. This was our 3rd family holiday at Paliki Beach with Trek Adventures - it has been fantastic for our 3 boys each time, with sea, beach club activities, great equipment & support staff for sailing, wind surfing etc, pool, lots of kids their age, close to Town for restaurants & bars. The youngest was 10 when we first went, it was perfect. My eldest is 20 now & he still loved it!”

“We had a really lovely holiday at Paliki Bay staying in Villa Filomera. Mark in the Uk was extremely helpful when we had to defer our holiday for a year because of Covid. He was also very accommodating when two of our party had to cancel due to illness a month before departure. We were very impressed with his support. All staff at Paliki Bay were also very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There always appeared to be plenty of sailing equipment available with planned lessons for beginners etc. There were also good fun activities for the teenagers. We sometimes ate at the hotel and the meals were excellent as were the staff. They were always smiling and friendly. The walk into Lixouri to eat on an evening or shop for breakfast did involve a 15 minute walk each way so a car would have been useful, but we enjoyed our evening walks. Villa Filomera was a lovely spacious villa with a good size pool with terraces and plenty of seating. Towels in the villa were changed daily and bins emptied daily. Also the villa was kept very clean. One negative with Villa Filomera is that the upstairs bedroom's bathroom was a bit dated and the sliding door into the bathroom was very difficult to slide across as it would stick. Also the toilet seat was partly off its hinges with evidence of unsightly repair having been attempted. However, we loved our villa. Paliki Bay is an excellent site for water sports if that is your preference but if you like to swim or sun bathe the beach is lacking as there is only a narrow sand area and only a few chairs to sit on which were usually covered in peoples bags and kit and only two sun umbrellas. However, a 15 minute walk away from Lixouri would take you to a lovely sandy beach with a taverna. I have only given 4 stars because of the problem with the bathroom and lack of seating on the beach but we had a thoroughly good holiday and I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you TREK.”

“My family and I (with two teens 17 and 13) have recently returned from a week's stay at Paliki beach club. We had a fantastic time with something for everyone: lazing by the pool for me and non-stop sailing and activities for the kids, organised by the brilliant team of instructors who could not have been more friendly and helpful. The instructors were great at arranging a couple of ice-breaking activities for the teens at the start enabling my daughter (17) to make friends with other teenagers her age: by the end of the week they were all heading into town in the evenings (just a 10-15 minute walk away) and having a great time. The town of Lixouri was nicer than we expected and really lively in the evenings with a good choice of restaurants and bars so it was a big bonus to have this within walking distance. Would definitely recommend, especially to families with older teenagers.”

“Just returned from a lovely holiday at Paliki Beach Club. The Trek team were wonderful: they were encouraging, friendly and helpful. Without exception, we were able to use the equipment whenever we wanted to. It was tricky booking the slots for the lessons at first and maybe this is something that could be pre-booked to save queuing. The hotel staff were lovely and the location was great.”
