Mediterranean

Greece

Greece is a tapestry of ancient history, sunlit islands, and seas that shift from sapphire to turquoise. From the dramatic cliffs of Santorini to the pine-fringed coves of the Ionian, every destination offers its own blend of beauty, culture, and timeless charm.

ABOUT

Your guide to Greece

Where Myth Meets the Mediterranean

Begin in the Cyclades, where whitewashed villages climb the hillsides of Mykonos and Paros, and waterfront tavernas spill onto sun-warmed quays. Head to the Dodecanese for medieval fortresses and hidden beaches, or to the Ionian Islands for lush landscapes, pastel harbors, and calm waters. Each region tells its own story, steeped in history and framed by breathtaking views.

Exploring the Greek Isles

Cruising through Greece offers endless variety, but the Saronic Gulf is our favorite place to start. Close to Athens and favored by locals, it’s less touristy yet full of charm. Islands like Hydra, with no cars and donkey-lined streets, or Aegina, famous for pistachios, add authentic flavor. Sheltered from strong winds, the Saronic Gulf is perfect for smooth sailing. One day you might anchor in a quiet bay, the next explore lively harbor towns or golden beaches. Here, Greece reveals its real side—vibrant, relaxed, and entirely at your pace.

Blue Horizons and Warm Breezes

The yachting season runs from May to October, with warm, dry summers and sea temperatures perfect for swimming. July and August are the busiest months, with lively harbors and high-season energy. May, June, September, and early October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and ideal cruising conditions. The Meltemi winds can be stronger in the Cyclades during mid-summer, while the Ionian and Saronic Gulf tend to remain more sheltered.

What to Know

Greece’s diverse regions allow for a variety of itineraries, from short hops between close-knit islands to longer passages across open water. Marinas and anchorages range from modern facilities to quiet bays with only a taverna ashore. Euros are the currency, and English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Many itineraries combine cultural landmarks with secluded anchorages, creating a journey that is as rich in experiences ashore as it is on the water.
