MIXit Sailing Holidays in GREECE

Our trip to Volos went very well, it was another wonderful sailing trip. A big thank you to you and MIXit Sailing for the smooth and professional handling of the booking ! Your local colleagues were very friendly and helpful, especially your friend Petros. The takeover and return of the Bavaria C45 went without a hitch. Unfortunately, the wind conditions were a bit modest during the week, so we were only able to sail properly on one day. But that's the way it is with sailing, you just make the best of it! The C45 is also a great boat. There is enough space on board for 8 people. I would especially like to mention the kitchenette with the large refrigerators. This is simply a great solution. There is also plenty of storage space. The boat is also very easy to sail, which is even easier with the self-tacking jib. However, we had to realise that a few more square metres of sail would be better :-)

We sailed for 2 wonderful weeks with the jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39.i. The area near the Sporades is fantastically beautiful and still relatively quiet. During the holiday it turned out that the on-board batteries were not working properly. These were replaced by new ones on Skopelos without any problem. The boat was also technically well equipped and has good sailing characteristics. Communication with Mixit Sailings was excellent and clear. We can recommend everyone to rent a sailing yacht through them.

Just back from a fantastic weeks sailing out of the Port of Volos. 2 couples on a beautiful, well maintained Beneteau 393. These are perfect sailing waters for beginners and more experienced skippers. The Gulf offers a huge variety of scenic, sundrenched harbours and anchorages. The tavernas and restaurants ashore offer everything you would want and imagine in a Greek coastal setting. I cant forget the wonderful hospitality of all the Greek people we met along the way. Reminded me of friendly Irish folk back home; only with a better suntan. We flew out in July when the Covid Restrictions were still at large but not In Greece obviously. The trip was only possible given the support and work put in by Phil and the Mixit team in advance which enabled us to go ahead. Happy to say our confidence was re paid with no issues or problems what so ever encountered. Well done guys and thanks a lot. We would love to return. Regards John ...AND FROM THE CREW... I’ll leave John to review the technical side of the Beneteau Oceanis but I would like to add that we were very impressed with the cleanliness of everything. Every corner was ship shape and the fruit bowl was a nice welcoming touch. Overall we found the yacht to be in mint condition, and it handled very well. Thanks a lot, Lisa

Tanks a lot MixitSailing and George in Volos for a nice week in the Nothern Sporades island group. Our boat a Beneteau 43,4 Cycades was in good condition and worked nice. Possibly the service battery needed to be replaced to next season, but it is now reported and I am sure it will be fixed .We are especially satisfied with the communication with MixitSailing with promt answers to our questions. It was not obvious for us to use an English agent because we are 4 swedes but it worked better than expected.// Bo and friends
