Strel Swimming Adventure Holidays Avaliações 

My 3rd Strel Swimming holiday, a wonderful week on Symi Island. Aoife, Toby & Pavlous made everything so easy for everyone, going above & beyond. Amazing swimming conditions and lunch stops at isolated beaches reached only by boat, it really was paradise. Pedi Beach Hotel was a fabulous base, extremely friendly staff. Memories that will last a lifetime.

I’ve just completed my 13th swim holiday with Strel and it more than lived up to my expectations. What you get is high class accommodation in interesting places and brilliantly organised swims, led by expert guides. What I (speaking as an 80 year old -experienced but hardly rapid,) particularly value is their willingness to accommodate swimmers of all ages and abilities. Aoife and Toby were exemplary in this regard. In addition, they went out of their way to make restaurant recommendations and organise dinners. I cannot thank them enough. All these things are down to Strel, but without exception I've also found charming and interesting company on these trips, I’m already planning my next Strel holiday.

We loved our Symi swim trek. Would highly recommend. They even catered for the non swimmers amongst us. Aoife and Toby were brilliant guides. Our boat captain Pavlos kept us safe. The people in our group were a joy to be around, we shared a memorable week together that we won’t forget. If you are thinking about it, just do it, you won’t regret it. Nic & Rob. Australia

We just completed our first swim tour with Strel at Symi, Greece. We loved it. Our guides, Aoife and Toby, and Captain Pavlos, were amazing, had it all under control, catering to all swimming speeds. The swims were varied and took into consideration weather conditions and boat congestion. We were safe, entertained and tired!
Toby and Aoife assisted us in restaurant recommendations and reservations which was an added bonus.
We will definitely be back for another Strel adventure.

Swimming in Symi is a really special experience, with beautiful clear waters and lovely accommodation, my partner and I had a fantastic time.

The Strell Coaches, Aoife and Toby, were both brilliant at organising and leading the swims each day, with friendly and very flexible approach, they always made an effort to accommodate our needs.

This was our first swimming trip, and would highly recommend Strell’s Symi experience to any newcomers or experienced swimmers alike. Symi is an beautiful place to swim, but our coaches and fellow swimmers really made the experience special.

The Symi swim holiday was incredible. Great weather, scenery and food, and so well organised. Toby and Aoife made the trip really special, and we got to experience so much of what Symi had to offer. Would definitely recommend to any swimmer. I can’t wait for my next Strel holiday!

I just got back from my third time Loreto trip! Kate and Ramses were fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The swimming areas were exceptional - clear water and an unending amount of sea life. The mountain range behind Loreto makes for an even more beautiful setting. The whole thing was perfect! And it has been every time I go. Don't miss Loreto.

I did my first swimming holiday with Strel in Symi, Greece. The coaches, Toby and Aoife, were extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I felt safe with them at all times. The group was from all around the world and I had a ton of fun getting to know them.

The island offered breathtaking views both inside and outside of the water. Weather was perfect, although mid of October. Water was around 21 degrees.

Well structured overall. I am already planning my next trip with Strel.

I had a fantastic holiday with Strel. The guides, Jo and Steve were excellent - both professional and fun.
The swimming was well organised and it was great to spend each day on the lovely gulet and in the water.
Fabulous food, a good hotel and superb company made this a perfect holiday.

Everything about this Strel holiday was fantastic. It was my first swimming holiday. So well organised with very friendly and experienced coaches. We stayed in Kas and were taken to great swimming spots every day. Particularly loved the 5 island swim and the sunken ruins. The food provided on the boat was lovely and we had plenty of time to relax and chat to the other members of the group and get valuable swimming tips from the coaches.I would thoroughly recommend this as a relaxing but also energetic holiday. One of the highlights was seeing turtles in the harbour of Meiss on the last evening. Thank you Jo and Steve

We had a really great week. The coaches Jo and Steve were outstanding. All the swims were well thought out, safe, and enjoyable. The water was warm and clear. Kas is a nice town with a large range of places to eat. The hotel was fine, and the group good fun. We are more than happy to use Strel again.

Had a great week of swimming, doing the Swim Sail Cruise – Lycian Way with Strel.
The swimming was superb, always in lovely spots, with crystal clear water, and a perfect water temperature, every day at around 24/25 C . Great guiding by Jo, always helpful and attentive to all swimmers, regardless of their ability.
The cruise boat was very good, with large and comfortable cabins, and nice social areas. The crew was really nice and helpful, and the food was wonderful at every meal!
The group was really nice too, and we had a great time together.
Definitely recommend it!

A truly memorable swim cruise holiday onboard a beautiful wooden gulet. Our coach, Jo, brought years of experience and endless funny stories - my stomach hurt from laughing so much. Also, hats off to the crew —Yusef, Fatma, Yüksel, and youngster Celal— they were all amazing. They made everyone feel at home from the very first day. The food onboard was delicious, fresh, and plentiful. The boat was full of inviting lounge areas where you could relax, chat, or soak in the scenery. Each day was unique, with great swim stops and enchanting coastal views (due to rain the previous week, we were lucky to see a coastline dotted in spring green, although this was mid October). There were both planned and spontaneous land excursions, like the visit to a small island scattered with archaeological ruins, including the remains of ancient churches dating back as far as 700 BC. For those wanting a break from swimming, there were plenty of leisure options like kayaking and stand-up paddling. Best of all, our group gelled immediately - everyone was unanimous in their praise for how unique and special this experience was. It’s the sort of trip you find yourself raving about long after you’re back home.

Strel Turkish Holiday
A great destination in Kas and Jo and Steve helped to make this a really memorable trip. Fantastic swimming trips and dinner to Kastellorizia. Excellent care and attention to different swimming abilities.

Loved every minute! Amazing swims around the coast of Turkey, the sunken city and 5 islands were a particular highlight. The food on board was delicious- fresh Turkish food cooked every day by Nimet. Jo and Steve looked after us so well and gave tips on or swimming. I highly recommend and really hope to go again.

Beautiful venue with great swimming. The Strel swimming coaches and the boat captain chose were good at selecting the right spot on the day to make the best of the conditions.
Coaches were great company as well as excellent in providing advice.
Food on board hit the right spot.
Altogether made the week great fun.

Im almost a week home now from my Strel swimming holiday and im still missing it. This was my first experience of an organised swimming holiday but it certainly won't be my last. I enjoyed every minute of the experience, the warm water, the blue skies, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the feeling of freedom as your swimming along by coasts, the excitement of swimming the loop within a group of islands, the buzz of having a turtle or two share their water with you, the camaraderie with your fellow swimmers, the beautiful freshly prepared lunches, the reassurance that you always felt safe and could get out if you needed to. Our guides Aoife and Steve were just wonderful keeping us informed and giving us tips to enhance our experience both in the water and on our holiday in general. There was a lovely relaxed and fun feeling on board and I think that helped us connect and make friends with each other which we truly embraced. I found out swim assessment video and tips after most helpful and found myself repeating the advice "hand in the sleeve, fish in the pocket" with a smile on my face later as I was swimming through turquoise water. If you like swimming and nature and people this is your holiday for sure. It is truly nourishment for the soul. XXX🥰🥰🥰

I'm just back from my 2nd swim adventure with Strel and really recommend this holiday. Our guides Aoife and Stephen were both amazing and shared great swim tips and recommendations for local restaurants and shops while the lunch onboard was really tasty. Crystal clear, warm, turquoise water, turtles, stunning coastal scenery and a fantastic group - if you're thinking about booking a Strel swim holiday, just do it - it's incredible!

This was my second strel holiday (my first was in korcula, Croatia) so i knew i was in for another great adventure in a location carefully chosen by Borut to be pleasant, safe, interesting, uncommercial and with lovely warm swimmable waters. Our guides Aoife and Steve were encouraging and in- formative and made sure we all reached our daily goals - cleverly orchestrating a 14-strong group of mixed-ability swimmers to end up back at the boat at just about the same time. Each day was different with new locations to master, some more challenging than others, but Captain Osman ensured that we were always safe and in water that was sometimes choppy but never unswimable. And Mrs Osman kept us well fed with wholesome and delicious Turkish food throughout. Kas was fascinating with lots of great, modestly priced restaurants, lots of points of cultural interest from amphitheatres, to bustling markets, calls to prayer, and lots of sarcophaguses. I can't wait for my next Strel adventure.

I would give 6 stars to Strel swimming adventure holiday in Kas. Where to begin. Lovely accomodation and brekies espeically the fresh fruit and coffee machine. Lunches on the boat were freshkly cooked, varied and plentiful too. Fabulous warm tourqoise waters to swin in. We spotted four turtles over the week which blew my mind. I loved chilling in the sun on the boat after the swims too. Aoife and Steven gave me some great tips and guidance on improving my technique. Our guides couldn't have been more helpful and they were on to everything in and out of the water. They gave great tips on places to eat, shop and Kas in general. Steven walked us about Kas town and pointed out a Spa and the treatment was epic.Aoife brought us up to the local friday market which is really worth seeing too. We had lovely people in our group and seamlessly Steven and Aoife helped us gel and have an really amazing swim holiday. I am smiling as a
write this it. My advise is book a swim holiday with these guys. Just top class beginning to end.
