Why rent a yacht in Greece?
Steeped in history and mythology, Greece is a must-see sailing destination in the Mediterranean. A yacht charter in Greece is an excellent way to discover the surprising landscapes of the Balkans in the utmost comfort. The cradle of civilization, the Greek islands are rich in cultural heritage. But they are also home to anchorages and sites of unique natural beauty, which reveal all their charms when approaching by sea from your charter yacht with crew.
The best places to sail in Greece
Between the Aegean and the Ionian seas, Greece offers you different sailing areas. You will find hundreds of islands and superb anchorages in all the archipelagos, particularly in the Sporades or in the Saronic islands. Corfu and the magnificent beaches of the Ionian Islands are a must for yachtsmen looking for a combination of relaxation, swimming and sunbathing. In the Cyclades, the picture-postcard scenery of the typical bright white villages floating on turquoise waters will be a feature of your cruise. To party while on your yacht charter in Greece, don't miss the discos and lively evenings of Mykonos. Take the opportunity to relax on the superb beaches of Santorini or to visit the archaeological site of Naxos. Then set sail for the Dodecanese islands, where you can visit the medieval fortress of Rhodes and the historic sites of Delos and Patmos. Fancy some unspoiled, authentic nature? Set off to discover Karpathos or the island of Astypalea.
