Greece Yacht Charter Guide
Greece, a land steeped in myth and legend, is cherished for its myriad islands and tranquil retreats. The landscape features white-washed houses, churches with brilliant turquoise domes, and rolling verdant hills.
With pleasant weather year-round, powerful winds, pristine waters, and stunning anchorages, Greece is a premier sailing destination that attracts yachts from around the world.
What advantages does a luxury yacht charter offer for exploring Greece?
Endless stretches of breathtaking coastlines and beaches
Greece’s seascape, comprised of over 2,000 islands scattered across miles of coastline, offers unforgettable island-hopping adventures, ensuring every yacht charter is unique.
Hop around the islands
While many islands are remote, some even without vehicles, accessibility by boat and helicopter is surprisingly easy. Some islands also have airports, providing flexibility for meeting the yacht. Cruising by boat is the best way to discover isolated bays, enjoy secluded picnics, and make the most of water toys away from onlookers. Island hopping allows guests to immerse themselves in local culture, explore charming villages, and savor regional delicacies.
Endless days of summer
Greece boasts the best of the Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and dry summers. Yachts typically charter during the summer months of June, July, and August. However, the shoulder months of May and September can be equally rewarding, with cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
A culture to remember
Steeped in historic significance and renowned for its contribution to Western civilization, Greece offers a wealth of cultural experiences. From philosophers to Olympians, its diverse lands invite exploration, one island at a time.
Destinations in Greece
Featured Yachts for Charter
Greece's yachting adventures are defined by the warm, constant winds and rocky outcrops that harbor bays and paths ripe for discovery. The Aegean Sea, sprinkled with numerous isles, offers mesmerizing yachting itineraries. Located to the southeast of the mainland, the 220 islands of the Cyclades are Greece’s most popular yachting destination.
Architecturally rich and archaeologically significant, the signature white-washed Cycladic landscape is easily accessible from mainland Athens. Mykonos, the island of windmills, is internationally renowned for its vibrant nightlife, while the glowing sunsets of Santorini captivate hearts and minds. For a taste of Greek mythology, Apollo’s temple on Delos is a must-visit.
The twelve Dodecanese Islands, located less than a hundred miles from the Turkish coast, are steeped in rich and complex ancient history. The smallest of these islands offer secluded harbors—a relic of their trading past—while all boast stunning beaches and dramatic terrain best viewed from the water. Across these twelve islands and 150 lesser-known islets are countless Byzantine churches and medieval castles. The climate ranges from temperate to dry tropical, with an extended dry summer period.
The lush Ionian islands form a vertical string comprising seven main islands: Kefalonia, Corfu, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Paxi, Lefkada, and Kythira. The Ionian Sea, embracing Greece’s west coast, boasts mild weather, rich vegetation, stunning Venetian architecture, and calm, predictable sailing conditions. These islands offer miles of sandy beaches with turquoise waters, making them the perfect yacht charter destination. Even though the islands are divided into northern and southern groups, the entire chain can be explored on a two-week charter itinerary.
Why Choose Greece for your next yacht charter?
Greece stands as the ultimate choice for a yacht charter presenting effortless island-hopping opportunities, a delightful Mediterranean climate, and a profound cultural legacy.
The country boasts mild winters and dry summers, and steady northerly winds create ideal conditions for smooth and enjoyable sailing. The peak sailing season spans from mid-May to mid-September. If your travel plans are flexible, April and October can also be rewarding, offering milder weather, fewer crowds, and off-season pricing.
Greece's diverse island groups cater to various sailing preferences and each offers a unique landscape. The Ionian Islands, adorned with lush greenery and tranquil seas, provide an ideal setting for serene sailing vacations. The Dodecanese, characterized by sandy shores and medieval architecture, beckon with consistent winds and a rich historical tapestry waiting to be unraveled. The Saronic Gulf islands combine unspoiled nature, rocky coastlines, and a cosmopolitan culture while remaining sheltered from the powerful Meltemi winds. Finally, the renowned Cyclades, renowned for their white-washed architecture and rugged terrain, beckon experienced sailors with robust summer winds. Each island cluster delivers a distinctive sailing adventure and geographical diversity, enabling visitors to navigate their own course and craft unforgettable memories.
