FLEXIBLE SAILING HOLIDAYS FROM CORFU AND PAXOS 

It is not usually possible to charter a yacht for less than a week but special interest holiday operator Paxos Life Activities offers skippered and bareboat charter for as little as two days.

For Summer 2010 special interest holiday operator, Paxos Life Activities, is again offering a range of flexible sailing holidays that are ideal for anyone who does not want to give up the comfort of their luxury villa and commit to a whole week afloat, or who perhaps does not have the confidence or experience needed to skipper their own yacht.

No visitor to the Greek islands can help but notice the numerous elegant yachts anchored offshore or alongside quayside tavernas, and many will have looked at them with envy and perhaps also a certain degree of curiosity, and wished that just for once they could share in this experience. Now the flexible sailing options available from Paxos Life Activities mean that even those who enjoy their creature comforts and complete novices, can do just that and have the chance to experience the excitement of sailing around Corfu, Paxos and other Ionian islands.

Paxos Life Activities is offering two yachts for charter: a Sun Odyssey 52.2 and a Bavaria 41. Even those who are most fastidious about their creature comforts should be happy on the Sun Odyssey, a spacious, comfortable yacht offering real luxury and style, which has four double staterooms, each with its own en suite, and comes with her own skipper. The smaller Bavaria 41, which is available for skippered or bareboat charter, is ideal for smaller groups or for anyone who wants to enjoy sailing for a couple of days but prefers to retain the comfort of their villa rather than living on board.  And of course both yachts are available to those with little or no previous experience. 

The fact that out of high season either yacht can be chartered for as little as two days, means that the possibilities for anyone wanting to arrange their own holiday with a difference are almost endless, especially now that tour operators such as Travel à la carte and Agni Travel offer villa rentals starting on any day of the week and, in the case of Travel à la carte, for as little as two days.  

So you could, for example, arrive on Paxos on a Friday to spend the usual one or two weeks in your favourite villa but then, instead of returning to Corfu by hydrofoil at the end of your holiday, charter either yacht to leave Paxos on the Friday morning and sail via Parga or Sivota on the coast of Epirus, or the idyllic bays of North East Corfu, to arrive at Corfu Town or Gouvia Marina on the Sunday evening or Monday morning.  

Alternatively, you could perhaps spend just a few days in a villa, either in Gaios or the south of Paxos, before chartering either yacht for a week and sailing to Kefalonia stopping off at Anti Paxos, Lefkada and Ithaca before returning to Paxos for a few more days, this time perhaps in a villa in or around the delightful village of Loggos. If you preferred to remain at your villa throughout your holiday, you could charter the Bavaria 41 for a couple of days each week to explore the coast of Paxos, Anti Paxos, Epirus and Southern Corfu. The possibilities are almost endless and even more experienced sailors whose previous experience has been on typical 32 or 36 foot flotilla yachts would gain a thrill from a few days living the life of luxury on board a yacht such as a Sun Odyssey 52.2.
