Aegean Sea

Boat rentalin Greece

Three different worlds in one country: the Cyclades for wind, the Ionian for calm, the Sporades for green.

What sailing is like here

In summer the Cyclades are swept by the meltemi, a northerly wind that regularly tops twenty knots in August. It is a cruise for a more seasoned crew. The Ionian Sea on the western side is far calmer and suits families with children. Distances between the islands are greater than on the Adriatic.

Season

The season runs from April to October. The meltemi peaks in July and August; anyone who wants the Cyclades without the strong wind sails in June or September.

Worth the voyage

The Cyclades
White villages on bare hills, deep blue water and a wind that sets the shape of the day.
The Ionian islands
Green, sheltered and short hops. The loop around Lefkas is one of the calmest in the Mediterranean.
The Sporades
Pine slopes dropping into the sea and the Alonissos marine park, the largest in Europe.

Questions

Questions about sailing in Greece

Which part of Greece suits a first cruise?

The Ionian islands. The wind is lighter, the distances shorter, and there are enough anchorages even in high season.

What is the meltemi?

A dry northerly wind that blows across the Aegean from June to September. It brings cooler air and superb sailing, but it calls for experience and a plan with room to spare.

Can Greece be combined with Turkey?

Yes, but sailing between the two countries means crossing a border, with the customs and harbour formalities that come with it. For a specific boat we check whether the operator allows it.
