Advanced sailing course in Greece — where sailing is at its best!
Join Sailstar to Greece and experience sailing among some of the Mediterranean's most classic waters. Our courses start from the Olympic Marina in Lavrion, only 30 minutes from Athens airport — easy, smooth and perfect for both spring and autumn seasons.
During the course you will live and sail aboard a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 — sometimes accompanied by a sister boat, e.g. SO 439 or Hanse 455, when we sail in squadrons.
This course is a continuation course, with different routes depending on course level:
A typical sailing week
For six days, we sail between vibrant coastal towns, bathing coves and charming islands. You will learn how to sail, maneuver and add a large sailboat in real conditions. We train on swerving rules, sail trim, man-over tables and safety procedures — always with confident guidance from Sailstar's experienced instructors.
In the evenings, we enjoy Greek cuisine, crystal clear waters and starry nights moored in small harbors or natural coves.
Seasons and times
We sail 6—8 weeks in spring and just as long in autumn:
📅 May 1 — June 15 and September 15 — early November
