Greece is hard to beat for an active holiday. The water is warm and sheltered, the islands are made for sailing, and at the right kind of club the watersports and bikes come included rather than charged by the hour. We have run active holidays here since 2001, based on the Ionian island of Kefalonia and on Evia.
What is an activity holiday in Greece?
It is a holiday where the activities are the point and they are bundled in: free use of watersports kit and bikes, instruction on hand, and meals sorted, so you can windsurf, sail, paddleboard, cycle or swim without planning or paying extra each time. It is the opposite of a sun-lounger package.
What kinds of activity holiday can you do?
- Beach club holidays: beachfront, free watersports and bikes, a relaxed all-in week.
- Watersports holidays: windsurfing, paddleboarding, sailing and more, in calm clear water.
- Sailing holidays: flotilla, learn-to-sail and yacht charter in the gentle Ionian.
- Family activity holidays and things to do in Kefalonia for the wider picture.
Where are the best activity holidays in Greece?
Our base is the calm Lixouri (Paliki) peninsula of Kefalonia, with sheltered water for watersports and the Ionian on the doorstep for sailing. We also run Stira Bay on Evia, which has consistent summer winds for windsurfing. Browse all our beach club and sailing holidays.
Who are activity holidays for?
Families, couples, friends and solo travellers alike. Because the activities range from gentle to adventurous and the kit and tuition are included, beginners and improvers are equally well served, and there is plenty for non-sporty members of the group too.
