Neilson Activity Holidays are definitely hands on when managing their flotilla in Parga. Sirocco (Named after the seasonal Mediterranean wind) a Dufour 34 yacht with a British family are way too quick on entering this tiny harbour on the northern end of Valtos Beach in Parga.

Gliding in rhythmic motion with our surroundings in this biggest of big blue I’m transfixed watching Christina drying her hair, as she seeks far horizons. Sailing together for the first time, our harmony with each other and our surroundings makes us feel we’re seasoned travellers.
