I want to go sailing in the Aegean again, but perhaps not in a flotilla. I am looking for a berth rental.
Farout cruises, use a Turkish gulet but have at least one trip which starts and ends in Rhodes and only visits Greek Islands, they claim to do single tickets. Their Turkish trips may require an e-visa. See this map, for accommodation planning, and this map to plan the journey from Dalaman airport to Fethiye. See this site for other travel tips in Turkey, including a page on communications and a page on electricity.
Or blue cruise, their cabin charter page about £850 + 70% p.w. = £1,445 probably + flight but the Ada Deniz looks cool.
Or https://www.medsailholidays.com/athens-cabin-itinerary/ from & to Athens
Or https://www.yachtgetaways.com/summer-2024 destinations in Croatia or Greece, (Paros, Lefkas or Corfu), definitely do book a cabin but expensive. I misread the currency, they quote in Euros, but don’t mention a single berth uplift. €1632 pp, but I assume based on full rooms and they are all doubles.

Sunsail aren‘t doing this in the Mediterranean for 2024.
Courses
https://www.prometheus-sailing.co.uk/sailing-school/ have taken over Sunsail’s training solutions and have a 3 day refresher course, not sure about the Ionian prep courses they used to do.

I also on my Greece page on this wiki, documented Island Sailing who don’t seem to offer a berth only and also Getting back to sea which offers some mile builder trips.
I checked Far Out cruises yesterday, and the Greek trips are full. I was offered a week from Fethiye [Trip Advisor | Google Maps] , the offer is just what I want, and available when I want it, but I wasn’t planning on visiting Turkey although why not. It’s not necessarily easy to get to and boarding is at 09:00 hours.
I am looking at the end of April/early May. Expedia can get me there from LGW with a 7:30 take off. NB Turkey is three hours ahead today, I need to check what its time management rules are. I’d need to be at Gatwick by 5:30; Uber is ridiculous at that time in the morning so bus and train it is, but I have done it before. I have written a journey into my calendar.
Turkey currently observes Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) all year. Eastern European Summer Time is 3 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time and so in April, until September, Turkey is two hours ahead.
I plan to go out the day before since they start at 09:00, I have an Expedia trip saved.
