We had a really lovely holiday at Paliki Bay staying in Villa Filomera. Mark in the Uk was extremely helpful when we had to defer our holiday for a year because of Covid. He was also very accommodating when two of our party had to cancel due to illness a month before departure. We were very impressed with his support. All staff at Paliki Bay were also very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There always appeared to be plenty of sailing equipment available with planned lessons for beginners etc. There were also good fun activities for the teenagers. We sometimes ate at the hotel and the meals were excellent as were the staff. They were always smiling and friendly. The walk into Lixouri to eat on an evening or shop for breakfast did involve a 15 minute walk each way so a car would have been useful, but we enjoyed our evening walks. Villa Filomera was a lovely spacious villa with a good size pool with terraces and plenty of seating. Towels in the villa were changed daily and bins emptied daily. Also the villa was kept very clean. One negative with Villa Filomera is that the upstairs bedroom's bathroom was a bit dated and the sliding door into the bathroom was very difficult to slide across as it would stick. Also the toilet seat was partly off its hinges with evidence of unsightly repair having been attempted. However, we loved our villa. Paliki Bay is an excellent site for water sports if that is your preference but if you like to swim or sun bathe the beach is lacking as there is only a narrow sand area and only a few chairs to sit on which were usually covered in peoples bags and kit and only two sun umbrellas. However, a 15 minute walk away from Lixouri would take you to a lovely sandy beach with a taverna. I have only given 4 stars because of the problem with the bathroom and lack of seating on the beach but we had a thoroughly good holiday and I would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you TREK.

My family and I (with two teens 17 and 13) have recently returned from a week's stay at Paliki beach club. We had a fantastic time with something for everyone: lazing by the pool for me and non-stop sailing and activities for the kids, organised by the brilliant team of instructors who could not have been more friendly and helpful. The instructors were great at arranging a couple of ice-breaking activities for the teens at the start enabling my daughter (17) to make friends with other teenagers her age: by the end of the week they were all heading into town in the evenings (just a 10-15 minute walk away) and having a great time. The town of Lixouri was nicer than we expected and really lively in the evenings with a good choice of restaurants and bars so it was a big bonus to have this within walking distance. Would definitely recommend, especially to families with older teenagers.

Just returned from a lovely holiday at Paliki Beach Club. The Trek team were wonderful: they were encouraging, friendly and helpful. Without exception, we were able to use the equipment whenever we wanted to. It was tricky booking the slots for the lessons at first and maybe this is something that could be pre-booked to save queuing. The hotel staff were lovely and the location was great.

Great holiday at Palaki Beach. Easy to book and appreciated the customer service from a small company. All the staff at the resort were friendly and helpful with setting us for our activities for the day. The hotel staff were equally friendly and there was a relaxed vibe throughout the holiday. We would love to do it all again.

Fabulous week staying at Kostas beach house. Loved having the almost private beach just steps from the villa, Kostas was a fabulous host. Teenagers both had a great week and the trek team were amazing.

Just back from a great week at Paliki Bay. Hotel staff were pleasant and helpful, rooms clean, and breakfast offered a wide range of options. Nothing was too much trouble for the Trek team, who sorted us out with equipment and advice whenever we wished. We did a few clinics which were well presented and gave us things that made an immediate difference to our windsurfing/sailing. The teen sessions broke the ice and offered a great introduction to others staying at the hotel. Full marks to Trek staff at Paliki bay, who were unfailingly friendly, patient and helpful. Hope to return sometime!

This year was our third stay at Paliki beach and once again the Trek team delivered a great week for us. As usual the beach team were full of advice, help and always smiling. The combination of the beach teams, the sailing conditions, equipment and hotel staff have always delivered a fantastic holiday for us. This year we spent a second week at the learn to sail flotilla, once again the yachts and the instructors were brilliant, we had loads of fun and learned to sail a yacht as well. Thanks all.

We’ve had several amazing holidays with Trek at Paliki beach club, it’s truly a holiday for the grown ups and for the teenagers too. Everyone can choose to do things at their own pace and the staff are always willing to help, teach, encourage and give tips when needed. We loved having some organised sessions and some free/open sessions this year too-a great balance. We’ve all developed our water sports skills in some way. Babi, Ana and the Paliki team at the hotel are simply amazing too and make you feel part of their wonderful Greek family. We will be back next year.
