Greece

Greek IslandsGreece is recognized as the cradle of civilization, western philosophy and democracy. the Greek seafaring tradition has a history reaching back for generations. There are thousands of islands to explore and 10,000 miles of rugged coastlines, inlets and beaches.

The Greek seas are so vast that it would take months (perhaps years) to explore them all. A 7 day charter in any of the island groups is not nearly long enough. The main charter regions are the Cyclades, Sporades, Ionian, Saronic Gulf, Peloponnese and Dodecanese island groups.

As a result of Greece's geographical location, the subtropical warm summers are cooled by a stream of moderate to strong Northerly winds. These "Meltemi" winds are strongest in July, August and early September, especially in the Cyclades and are very unpredictable. It is important, therefore, that charters to the Cyclades may not be possible during certain periods. There are hundreds of islands protected from the Meltemi however and alternatives abound. temperatures are around 70-80 degrees in May and June and 80-90 degrees in July, Aug., and Sept.
