Loving the ocean life in Greece

A hands-on sailing holiday in the Greek islands mixes nautical high jinks with gorgeous food and sparkling scenery, writes Cathy Mullan

Dinghies set sail to race on a G Adventures holiday.

The loud clanging of yacht halyards against the masts, under dark, leaden skies and gusting 25 to 30-knot winds, with rough, sloppy seas outside Athens port reminds me of my offshore racing days, slogging it across the Irish sea from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead. 

So much for our sun-soaked Greek Odyssey.
