Miss_X The DogDays are over the DogDays are done, can you hear the Horses?
Lots of companies are now offering packages for beginners which are half and half, as in you spend your first week in a hotel and are trained in various aspects of skippering a yacht. Then the second week you get to take out your own flotilla (with help on hand if needed from the head of the fleet). Ideal starting place would be the Ionian seas calm waters with many secluded beaches and islands to discover.
Happy Sailing x
