Incredibly exciting, our NEW water sports club will open it’s doors May 2018.

It’s like having your own private beach club !

Paliki Beach Club

The lovely pool, taverna and bar are at the heart of this great little beach sailing club. We’ve a fantastic choice of rooms, villas with pools and beach houses to suit your group and budget.

As short stroll into the town square with all it’s bars and tavernas make this beach club is perfect for families with older teenagers.

Kefalonia, greece

Our beach club holidays are located in Kefalonia, part of the Ionian islands which are without a doubt one of the best water sports destinations in the world. Perfect breezes, crystal clear waters, dramatic scenery and a wonderful laid back atmosphere. Perfect for families, friends and singles looking for some sunshine and happy sailing.

As a dinghy sailing and windsurf destination it’s simple to get to, only 3hrs from the UK with very reasonable flight prices and departure airport options compared with the other Ionian islands.

Hi Just come back from our first flotilla holiday in Kefalonia. Wow what a great adventure, Matt and Steve were great hosts and helpful and informative on every step of our journey, very friendly and great company. All boats were well appointed and in good condition. It was my first time sailing a Bavaria Yacht and found it easy to sail with retractable Genoa and Main Sails. The whole Holiday was very positive and each destination was different, top marks. Will definitely be booking another holiday.

A fantastic week on flotilla from Ag. Efimia. Matt and Steve looked after us very well and their relaxed approach worked for me. Their assistance on mooring was excellent. Our yacht, Summertime, was well equipped and everything worked as it should have. The only thing missing for us was a teapot!! I would recommend Trek Adventures as a small company who will look after you.

I just returned from the kite-surfing week Trek Adventures held at Lixouri Bay, and I had a fantastic time. The facilities and the food at the venue were great, and the beach is perfect for relaxation or the water-sports they have on offer. The staff were friendly and always happy to help, and as a guest that visited alone, this was very important to me. I would definitely recommend Trek Adventures to friends and family, and visit again in the future.

Just returned from a week long flotilla holiday, great time had by all. Isabella (Bavaria 39) was a dream to sail and came with all the equipment required for an outstanding experience.

All I can say is absolutely fantastic. We have had a fabulous week learning to sail and have both gained our ICC. Richard our instructor was brilliant giving us the absolute confidence that we can do this by ourselves on day 4 which the whole group did. Great sailing, anchoring in a different bay each day for lunch, swimming off the back of the boat (even in a brief spell of rain) and seeing dolphins will all be long lasting memories. We will be booking again for next year and can not wait. I can not rate this company highly enough - just do it you won’t regret it.

We have just come back from a Fitness & Pilates break at Lixouri Bay which was stunning in every way - first class instruction on land for our beach workouts and pilates and on the water too. The hotel is beautiful with stunning views, fabulous food and staff who could not do enough for us. The surrounding area is incredibly peaceful and the new beach bar is perfect for sundowners. Magical in every way.

A fabulous friendly team, who took us as absolute beginners. And, turned us into feeling competent to sail by ourselves. An unforgettable experience. We learnt so much, have some fantastic memories, and saw turtles and dolphins on our travels.

The location on Lixouri beach is amazing, the staff are excellent-professional, friendly and extremely helpful - both in the hotel and in the sailing school and everyone enjoyed learning to sail or windsurf. Our party consisted of 16 people aged from 4 to 70 and we all had fantastic time. We were especially pleased with the way all staff went out of their way to ensure our granddaughter, who has cerebral palsy, was able to have a wonderful holiday with lots of fun on the water. Thank you all for such a memorable holiday. Julie and Alan Steer.

We have now had 3 fabulous holidays with Trek-Adventure starting with Learn to Sail we have now progressed to Flotilla and had a wonderful week this year,beautiful scenery throughout. Matt and Emma were great - enough assistance when needed otherwise letting us practice! Paliki beach club is a wonderful relaxing base and with two teenagers suits our family - something for everyone. We have recommended this company to others and we will be back for our 4th visit next year!

A great holiday with friendly, expert crew. Beautiful overnight moorings - slightly off the main routes, which is great. Helped of course by really good weather!

Just returned from a weeks flotilla and had a great time. Was taken to some lovely small places that larger groups would not all fit in. We were accompanied by the 2 Matts who both were great support to us novices with invaluable mooring assistance.

Trek- Adventures has consistently ticked every box for me as an individual and family, Sailing, and on the mainland. The Trek - Adventures experience has now become a yearly part of my holiday life and I can't see it changing for a long time.

We had a fabulous week on the flotilla sailing with Matt &Matt, my husband completed his ICC & I completed my competent crew. The boat was good clean & had everything we needed. Matt & Matt give us lots of instruction which helped. We would definitely recommend this course for anyone wishing to learn to sail. We are definitely going back next year. With our family members. We also visited some beautiful harbours .

We went to Paliki Beach this August as we did two years ago. An amazing bunch of people who were able to adapt to the different levels of knowledge we had. Fantastic tuition, a very informal atmosphere which suits young children, teenagers and adults alike. We like the new timetable for the beach and also the pursuit race was enjoyed by all. Many thanks to the whole team. The hotel is family run by a very helpful and welcoming Greek family where nothing is too much trouble and where the Greek food is excellent. We can highly recommend it.

We had a fantastic learn to sail week in Kefalonia this July with expert tuition, a friendly 'family' feel and a great boat to boot. It was the best thing I have ever done and certainly fulfilled a huge tick on my bucket list! We are both hooked and hope to return next year to show off our skills on a flotilla holiday. Well done Trek-Adventures, would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful family holiday at the Paliki Beach Club in Kefalonia - two adults and an 18 and 22-year old. The hotel has a lovely, laid-back, friendly atmosphere in a beautiful setting, and the water sports mean that everyone has something active to do if they want. As complete novices we're not quite sailing yet but just about managed a kayak and paddle-board! I would definitely recommend Sea-Trek and Paliki Beach, particularly for families travelling with teenagers and young adults.

Thank you Sea Trek for introducing us to sailing! We have had a fantastic week learning to sail with you and we are very grateful to Richard for both his knowledge and his patience. Two years ago I said no when my husband suggested a learn to sail holiday as I have never been confident around water even though I can swim reasonably well. But I am very pleased he persuaded me to give it a go, even though I was shaking like a leaf the first day! Along with our two teenage sons, we have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My first swim whilst anchored in a bay I was attached to a fender, my last time I managed to swim to shore and back! And the excitement of reaching 5.2 knots completely tipping to one side was amazing when we were sailing on our own without the instructor. We now have 2 qualified skippers and 2 competent crew! I would highly recommend it to anyone who has had doubts and I can't wait to do it again. Now we are starting our second week in the beach club.

My wife and I, both in our seventies, undertook and passed the ICC course and exams with Trek-Adventures in Lixouri and followed this up with an amazing flotilla week out of Ay Efimia which was so good that we immediately booked and have just completed a second two week flotilla excursion in late August. After getting home we then booked another two weeks flotilla in June 2018. can't be better than that can it?

Really happy memories of holidaying with Sea Trek in Kephalonia in 2016...so much so we returned for a second visit this August 2017 and have already booked our 3rd visit for next year! Loads of equipment, plenty of sailing and windsurfing advice at hand if necessary, great staff, friendly atmosphere and just to top it all a really beautiful setting. Thank you so much.

We had the best holiday ever at Paliki Beach. A fantastic combination of a family friendly hotel with fab beach team to facilitate a great holiday. My 12 year old daughter was able to get really confident at sailing which served her really well for the rest of the year. Trek staff were so kind and helpful. A truly winning combo. Hope to come back soon

We've now had two Trek holidays. Once as a learn to sail and the other as part of a flotilla. Both were excellent. The level of support is just right. Enough to ensure that we're not left stranded but not too much to be overbearing. The boats are great and any minor problems are quickly addressed. The support staff are really friendly and incredibly helpful, both on the island and in the office. Its our 'go to' holiday now, each summer.

Just returned from a fabulous fortnight at Paliki Beach. Beach team incredibly helpful, weather great, easy walk into Lixouri meant no need for car hire, plenty for teenagers to do. All in all a great family holiday.

In 2016 we returned for our third holiday with Trek Adventures - and weren't disappointed. I have to admit that we have been unfaithful and in the past flirted with another sailing company in the Ionian, however the fact that we came back to Trek-Adventures says it all! A great 'little' company that can afford to give a very personal service. We will be back

We had a brilliant holiday on a flotilla sailing week back in June. Just the right balance of hand-holding to real sailing independence. The yacht was well equipped and ready to go. Can't recommend this company enough.

We learnt to sail with Seatrek in 2001, at the start of their company, and when we were both 57! It was such a wonderful experience, and their patience was infinite - just as well, really, as it took us a while to take it all 'onboard', and acquire the confidence to continue. However, continue we did, and have returned every year since, sometimes more than once a year, and brought many friends with us to share the joys of Kefalonia and the surrounding islands. The friendship and hospitality of the Greek people is something we look forward to every time; I can't think of any other holiday which has had such an impact on our lives, and we are starting to think about a 17th year in 2017...

We had an excellent assisted charter from Lixouri this summer. The support we received from Matt was excellent and built our confidence for the free sail days. The yacht was in excellent condition and we had everything we needed on board. I can't recommend the staff and holiday enough. We will be back, hopefully nect year!

As brand new "yachties" we arrived bursting with excitement and anticipation. The whole sea-trek team from initial enquiry through to the resort team and instructors made us feel welcome, confident and maintained our excitement with their own individual professionalism and interest in us. A 5* thank you from Scott & Becky

Brilliant boats and a stunning location to sail them in. The company is small and the staff so welcoming that it feels like visiting old friends. The Skippers have in-depth knowledge of their sailing waters and are as happy to dispense guidance from beside you on the transom as they are via mobile phone. It just depends how adventurous you want to be.

We had four blissful days staying at the beach club, where the kids had a ball and learnt to windsurf and sail. And when they were not busy doing this they were permanently in the pool! The food was great and I still dream about plates of hot Tsaganaki! After that, we had two incredible weeks aboard La Serena, a 45ft Bavaria. This really was an adventure and without doubt the holiday of a lifetime. She is a very comfortable and well equipped yacht, meaning we had lots of space and the kids had their own cabins which they loved! We sailed around all the islands to the north under glorious sunshine and lovely afternoon breezes. We even had dolphins swimming off our bow as we sailed over to Kastos! At night we were often the only yacht moored off a perfect white pebbled beach, despite it being August and supposedly the high season! Waking up, having a coffee on deck as the sun comes up, followed by a swim or a paddle board all before breakfast is the way to start your day! Sailing is the ultimate family holiday, away from all modern day distractions and we will not hesitate to go again and when we do it will without doubt be with Trek Adventures, who really are what they say they are...a great little sailing company.

Attended a Learn to Sail class, plus 2 further sailing holidays. They are very well organised, have excellent instructors and make the whole experience very relaxed and enjoyable.

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sea-Trek to anyone wishing for a great value family beach club sailing holiday. The beach club is in great location with new beach club kit - well prepared every day by the team. We've been on a couple of Mark Warner trips and by comparison Sea-Trek is more intimate with enough boats for everyone to use, whatever your ability or age - even in August we rarely had to wait to get on the water. James and Suzy's recommendations of outings for sunset drinks and evening meals were spot on - beautiful sunsets and stunning beaches, all within 15-20 mins of the club. As a family of six we opted for a villa which was superb, cleaned very day (to my wife's delight!) with a beautiful little private pool. See you again soon.

What an amazing holiday we had with you all at Sea Trek, we wanted to learn how to sail as a family ( tricky with three children aged 3, 7 and 9) and we loved every minute. Villa Mitsi was glorious, the beach club fun, clean and safe, the sea deliciously warm and the staff friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you Sea Trek.

Thanks to all at Sea-trek for a wonderful couple of weeks this summer 2016. Our family of 2 adults and 4 children (13,15,17 and 19) stayed at the wonderful Palliki beach resort and made daily use of the sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and paddle boarding. An end of the day beer around the pool was most welcome and I even read a few pages of my book! The food was fresh, inexpensive, delicious and plentiful and we enjoyed the hotel or pool option to eat or the 10 minute waterfront stroll in to Luxouri town for a change of scenery. Our second week we spent on a yacht and had the most fantastic time brushing up on our yacht sailing and learning new skills in and around the beautiful and non touristy island of Kefalonia. There were some challenges but this was part of the fun. We were thrilled to complete certificates and come away with qualifications. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we felt most at home.........and of course hope to return! The Thomas Family

Fantastic combination of yacht sailing around the Ionian Islands with great support from the Sea-trek team, followed by a fun packed week of dinghies, catamarans and windsurfs with the ever patient and enthusiastic staff at Paliki Beach.

Smashing, relaxing holiday. Staff - both those on the beach team and at the beach club - friendly and very accommodating. The weather was not absolutely ideal for sailing but the team ensured that we were able to enjoy every minute available on the water during the week. Really professional and helpful. An environment in which you could feel at home very quickly. Really enjoyed every aspect of the stay - it simply should have been for longer.

Fantastic place, fantastic staff , fantastic holiday . We did two weeks shore based with kids ranging from 15 to 21 staying in sea breeze and the club. The laid back atmosphere combined with the sailing kit and the couldn't do more to help from both the club and beach teams made it a perfect mix . Throw in the very Greek feel and a safe town for the kids to stay out to the early hours in and you have a holiday which keeps everyone more than happy !!
