Can we Go to Greece? YES!

February 12, 2013 by Rosemary

Captain Christy runs small sailing trips in Greece and Turkey and writes: Thanks to the mass media, Greece and our sailing tourism is so down, you find the media discouraging people to come to Greece when most the tourists are needed.

So writes Captain Christy who  runs a sailing charters for 4-8 in the Greek Islands Join a women only crew 7-15 June … [Read more...]
