Greece – Greek islands
Greece is a popular charter holiday destination for both luxury motor yachts and sailing yachts alike. With its combination of natural beauty, ancient history and breathtaking architecture, Greece is understandably one of the world's top charter yacht cruising areas.
Enjoy a warm welcome and great hospitality from the friendly locals. They are proud of their rich traditions and strong beliefs, which stem from Greece's position as the birthplace of European civilisation.
Discover thousands of Greek islands, such as Mykonos and Santorini. These are just 2 of the famous Cyclades Islands, comprising 39 in total. Diverse and sitting close together, they are perfect for a yacht charter holiday in Greece.
Like the other Aegean islands, the Cyclades are exposed to the north/north east. This puts them in the path of the Meltemi wind, which can reach Force 7 and above. The Meltemi tends to start in late June and will come and go until September.
When to go:June – mid July; September
High season:June – mid July
Must see:Sunset from Little Venice in Mykonos; Naoussa (local taverns); Temple of Poseidon (god of the sea)
