Luxury sailing holidays: Greece, the ideal sailing destination of the Mediterranean,
owes it popularity to the dense concentration of islands in the Aegean. Moreover,
south-east of Attika and Athens is the scattered group of the Cyclades, centred
on Delos, and off the south west coast of Asia Minor, between
Rhodes and Samos is the string of the Dodecanese. Off the west coast of
Greece are the Ionian islands , together with the
Saronic , the most popular yachting area in the whole
Mediterranean.
In this section you will find weather forecasts, climate
data , sailing itineraries and maps of all
these areas and the most important islands.

Islands is to choose a one way charter: by sailing from one charter
base to another you will be able to see much more. Also, a one way cruise
downwind gives you a longer range and is usually a lot more comfortable

The most effective way to explore the Greek Islands is to choose a one way
charter: by sailing from one charter base to another you will be able to see
much more. Also, a one way cruise downwind gives you a longer range and is usually
a lot more comfortable than a windward beat.
Yet, when dealing with a dubious charter company, you might have to accept an
inferior yacht when starting from a smaller base. Two other good reasons to
start your holiday in Athens are the logistics involved and - more importantly
- you and the owner of the charter company will be able to meet each other.
Best to sail with the reliable companies of course, but many of these are not
very keen on their yachts ending up downwind of Athens or other larger bases.
Therefore, a one way charter comes with an additional fee , but it is definitely
worth your money.
During the sailing season the winds blow from the northwest or the northeast
in most areas: Corfu to Lefkas, Athens to Syros, Athens to Paros, Kos to Rhodes,
etc. are some examples of one-way itineraries. Finally, Lavrion (on the mainland
at the southeast tip of Attica) is often overlooked as a perfect start into
the Cyclades.
Again, it is always better to start at a major base like Athens and perhaps
Lavrion, since the owners of the charter company would very much like to meet
you and help you with the additional requests you might have.
