Why Choose Greece for Your Next Sailing Holiday?
1. Ideal Sailing Conditions
Greece offers some of the most consistent winds in the Mediterranean. The Ionian Islands deliver gentle breezes and flat waters, ideal for relaxed cruising or families. Meanwhile, the Cyclades and Saronic Gulf provide more spirited sailing for those looking for a challenge – particularly during the Meltemi winds in summer.
2. Rich History and Culture
From the ruins of Delphi and ancient Athens to picturesque fishing villages and Byzantine monasteries, every port of call tells a story. Wander cobbled streets lined with bougainvillea, explore historic harbours, or simply enjoy an evening in a taverna by the sea, sharing mezze and ouzo as the sun sets.
3. Spectacular Scenery
Sail between whitewashed island towns, volcanic landscapes, and tranquil turquoise bays. Greece’s islands are famed for their breathtaking contrasts – from the dramatic cliffs of Santorini to the lush greenery of Corfu and the crystal-clear lagoons around Lefkas.
4. Warm Hospitality
Greek locals are known for their warmth and generosity. Expect a warm welcome wherever you sail – whether you’re mooring stern-to in a bustling harbour or anchoring in a quiet cove.
