Activity holidays Greece

Sailing

The position of the resort gives it the feeling of being in a landlocked bay which naturally stops any harsh winds from interrupting while you’re learning to sail. Most beach resorts around the Med will sit between 2-4 on the Beaufort scale, but here we rarely get beyond 3. This makes for sublime winds and waves to get you used to navigating a sailboat.

Paleros Beach Resort offers free tuition and additional courses so you can choose to try and up your sailing game in an official capacity. Group sailing classes take place five days a week and are tailored to the ability of the class, with a maximum of six people per group. From the introduction to refresher and improvement classes, there are free lessons available all week. 

Guests that are new to sailing will be able to enjoy up to 3 hours of tuition free. If you want to go further and get qualified there's a range of pre-bookable RYA approved courses to choose from to get you going or take more experienced sailors up to the next level.

Padel

New for summer 2025

In time for the summer 2025 season, we're building two brand new padel courts at Paleros Beach Resort. 

If you love tennis, you should certainly give padel a try - a tennis-squash hybrid that’s been around since the 60s.  

For the uninitiated, the rules of the game and the way you score are more or less the same as in tennis. However, like squash, you can play off the walls. This means the ball tends to be kept in play for longer, so there can be fewer pauses than in tennis.

HEAD kit is available to get you out on court and enjoying this fast growing sport.
