A Greece yacht charter holiday in the Eastern Mediterranean will offer ancient history and amazing architecture along with sun-drenched islands and waterfront villages offering the best of Greek hospitality.

Sailing the legendary islands of Greece from the barren white rocks to the pine or olive clad is an opportunity to get off the beaten track or if you prefer to join the party crowds.

A proud and independent culture fashioned by the sea and sailing traditions, with a history of invasion and survival the Greek Islands is the realization of a lifetime dream for many sailors. With bases in the Ionian, Saronic, Cyclades, Dodecanese and Sporades we can arrange one way itineraries to ensure time utilisation is optimised for sailing vacations in this idyllic destination.

The Ionian - the Ionian cruising area includes islands such as Corfu, Kephalonia, Lefkas, Ithaca, Kythera, Zante and Paxi.  The Ionian boasts some of the best beaches in Greece and there is also the Blue Grotto which is a famous attraction. The winds are usually very calm in the Ionian making it a perfect sailing destination for less experienced sailors.

The Sporades - islands in the Sporades include Skiathos, Skyros, Alonnisos and Skopelos.    This region has beautiful thickly wooded islands.

Saronic Gulf - The Saronic Gulf includes islands called Poros, Salamis, Aegina and Vleves.  Athen's main port of Piraeus lies on the north eastern edge of the gulf.

Cyclades - The Cyclades are located in the Aegean sea, south east of the mainland of Greece and are comprised of approximately 220 islands.  Some of the major ones are Amorgos, Anafi, Andros, Ios, Kea, Kythnos, Mykonos, and Santorini.

Dodecanese - The Dodecanese are a group of islands off the south west coast of Turkey.  They have an extremely rich history and there are many Byzantine churches and medieval castles in the region.  The main islands here are Rhodes, Kos, and Patmos.

Olympic Domestic Airlines fly direct from Athens to the islands where the sailing fleets are based.

Both bareboat yacht charter and fully crewed luxury yacht charters are available in Greece.
