Hello,

my name is Dixon. I just moved to Piraeus and I want to learn to Sail.

The two sailing schools I have spoken to (HORC and YCG) offer courses at the weekend, but I'm free Monday to Friday and not at the weekend! And the former only do a course in Greek.

Does anyone here have advice or even go sailing in the week and would like a new British crew member?

Many thanks for reading this,

Dixon

hey dixon

you can check this site to see if they fit your needs
http://www.aegeansailingschool.com/
their base is located at Aegina (a nearby island) but you can be there in 35 minutes with a 'flying dolphin' from Piraeus

If you can get to Aegina, by flying dolphin from Piraeus, there is an excellent sailing school called Aegean Sailing School. They have a web site. It is run by a British couple called George and Melody Burton who are extremely helpful. They would,probably be able to arrange a mid week course for you. I have sailed with them many times and thoroughly recommend them. Let me know how you get on.

My husband and I sailed our yacht from England, spent several weeks in The Ionian and hope,to over winter in the Aegean.
