Thalia (Elan Impression 394 Impression Thalia)

Perfect starter choice This 39-foot Elan is ideal if you're new to sailing or want a relaxed, manageable vessel, she's responsive enough to be fun but forgiving enough that you won't feel overwhelmed. With three cabins and room for eight, she's great for a small family or two couples wanting their own space without the complexity of a bigger boat.

Smart practical touches Solar panels and a fridge are genuinely useful for extended Greek cruising, and the autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages so you can actually enjoy the scenery. The bimini gives proper shade, which matters when you're anchored all day in the Mediterranean heat.

Excellent value proposition At €1,530 per week with only a €500 deposit, this is genuinely affordable for a well-equipped three-cabin boat in Greece, you're getting decent bang for your euro. The 4.5-star operator rating (though limited reviews) suggests Hellenic Yachting takes care of their fleet and clients.

One consideration With only two reviews on record, the operator feedback is thin, so it's worth asking current clients directly about condition and support before committing. The 2012 build age is perfectly fine for Greek sailing, but do confirm the recent maintenance history if that matters to you.
