Join us on our 9 day trip to Rhodes from Thessaloniki, where we cover over 400 nautical miles and stop off at 10 islands and hit the challenges of 8 beaufort winds and 4 meter waves. The challenge leads us to explore so much of Greece's magnificnet beauty, both well-know and off the beaten track. We make these trips typically in sping and late autumn and they are excellent opportunities for adventure sailing and gaining expeirence in all kinds of weather. These are excellent opportunities for new skippers to get some real hands on experience. Contact us if you'd like to know more.
