Sailing Holidays in Greece

Quench your thirst for adventure by visiting the Cyclades. Discover over 200 islands with easy island hopping and a rewarding sailing experience. 

Visit the extremely famous and preferred island of Mykonos with enticingly cobbled streets and colorful houses. Sail some more and relax on the golden sands on the beautiful beaches of Paros. 

Moreover, no Cyclades yacht charter would be complete without a visit to the island of Santorini, with dramatic history and gorgeous blue domes and whitewashed walls. It’s the perfect place for a honeymoon and the most fabulous conclusion to your Greek sailing experience.

Amazing choice for explorations is the Sporades islands in the northwest of Aegean. You’ll enjoy every second of mountainous landscapes, the deep blue sea, and lush vegetation. A popular location for budding historians and sunbathers, Skiathos is home to countless picturesque beaches, perfect for relaxing on and swimming in the beautiful seas.

Enjoy the nightlife on Skiathos! Multiple moorings are perfectly located and available for you to hop ashore and enjoy it to the max. On the other hand, inland is very popular for medieval monasteries on Mount Athos. If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the Mediterranean monk seal, which is famously indigenous to the island.

The western coast of Greece with the Ionian Islands comprising 12 distinct islands is popular with tourists looking for fascinating history, peaceful beaches, and magnificent taste of Greek traditional food. Fantastic sailing conditions are topped with a clear line of sight for navigation. That makes the Lefkas sailing route an unforgettable experience. 

The largest of the Ionian Islands is Corfu, which is very popular and for a very good reason as there are magnificent pieces of architecture dating back to the Byzantine era. Don’t forget to dive into the Agní Reef, where you’ll come face to face with the eerie 40ft Agni shipwreck while gazing at fireworms dancing majestically through the colorful coral reef. 

Another popular destination that you want to visit on your sailing vacation is the island of Ithaca where Odysseus completed his legendary journey.

Greek cuisine is well known but believe us that you know nothing until you taste malting lamb with a scent of garlic and lemon within a kleftiko dish. Head to Paxos and Antipaxos where you’ll find old-fashioned Greek charm and traditional restaurants located in idyllic settings and serving the tastiest feta salads ever.

Dodecanese Islands lay on the southeastern Aegean Sea, which makes them the perfect location if you’re in the mood for an exhilarating sailing vacation. There you may find popular resorts such as Rhodes and Kos, where you’ll find some of the lesser-known gems that are poised within this stunning region.

Good example is the island Symi. This welcoming location is full of colorful scenery surrounded by quaint hidden coves. After you moor for a day, enjoy the crispy taste of traditional Symi shrimp. If you’re up to spend some time in a traditional Greek setting, visit the incredible island of Patmos and the majestic white walls of Chora. Sailing adventures are best combined with relaxing time, which brings us to the serene islands of Tilos with a wonderful and inviting combination of historical architecture and relaxing beaches.

On the eastern coast of Peloponnese, you’ll find the Saronic region. It offers mixed sailing conditions throughout the year, as the Meltemi winds blow in during the summer while May and October offer calm, relaxed sailing.

With a starting point in Athens, you can visit the ancient ruin ashore and get experience of Greek life in all its glory through the famous Acropolis. Sailing along the coast is breathtaking and since there are multitude of sheltered harbors, you can calmly sail while enjoying the scenery. 

If you’re foodie, take a trip to the Aegina Island where you’ll be spoilt for choice at one of the delicious eateries with mouth-watering local delights.
