Greece is truly beautiful and the people are wonderful too. Thank you Dimitris Bampakos for the best time taking sailing lessons from you. Walt and I look forward on more trips to Greece with more learning experiences. Cheers!

Sailing the Mediterranean and visiting the Greek islands was a life time experience. Dimitris is very experienced and professional Captain. I have sailed with him in the Caribbean as well and I highly recommend him as an ASA instructor.

Captain Dimitris, I appreciate your professional instruction of the ASA courses. Bob, Tescha, Matt and I had a great time sailing with you in Greece. The islands were breathtaking! Bob and I hope to connect with you next year to join your Flotilla. Wishing you the very best in your new endeavors.

Dimitris thank you for the best sailing experience of my life. I look forward to sailing with you in the future. Steve and I have been planning a circumnavigation for over 3 years. We intend to buy a boat in the fall of 2019 and begin circumnavigating in the spring 2020. If there is any possible way you could sail with us at any point it would be a privilege for us. Thanks again for all the memories.
