Weekly vacation sailing in Athens, Greece

Greece, considered the cradle of Western civilization and situated in a location of breathtaking natural beauty, provides a one-of-a-kind charter experience. The Saronic Islands, with their delicious food and attractive Greek cities, the Cyclades islands, with their bustling nightlife, or the Ionian islands, with their rich greenery and secluded coves. Perhaps the Dodecanese islands, with their spectacular architecture and majestic structures, or the Sporades islands, with their pine-forested mountains and beautiful beaches, would captivate you. Each island group is unique, and each island has its own distinct features and tale that attracts visitors back year after year to this enticing sailing destination.

Throughout Greece, we provide bareboat and crewed yachts of various sorts, including sailboats, motor yachts, luxury yachts, and catamarans. With our expert's in-depth knowledge of the area and the boats, we can ensure that customers are provided with a yacht that will complete their fantasy Greece yacht charter.

When we designed the Bavaria C45, we wanted to create a yacht which people would feel completely at home on – with features like the huge bathing platform, big cockpit and bright saloon – and also a yacht of the utmost flexibility. There are two versions available: ‘Holiday’ and ‘Style’.

Furthermore, this is the only yacht in its class available in a five-cabin version as well as three and four cabins, and which has a dinghy garage for a tender. The new BAVARIA C45 is an absolute all-rounder.

The rocky, partly volcanic Argo-Saronic islands, most of which are just an olive's throw from the mainland, differ not only from the land they face, but also from one another. Salamna, the Argo-Saronic group's northernmost island, is virtually a suburb of Pireas, with its tiny strait, just a kilometer broad, covered by a steady stream of boats. However, there is little to entice you on the opposite side, and the island is only briefly discussed here. It is well-known for its pistachio nuts and is home to one of Greece's most beautiful ancient temples.

The Cyclades (Kykládhes) are Greece's premier island-hopping destination, named after the circle they make around the sacred island of Delos. Each island has a particular personality based on its traditions, customs, terrain, and historical history. Most are tiny enough for a few days of travel to show you a significant portion of their landscape and personality in a manner that Crete, Rhodes, and the most of the Ionian islands cannot.

The six core Ionian islands float on the haze of the Ionian Sea, shepherding their satellites along the west coast of the mainland, their lush green contours, a result of heavy winter rainfall, surprising visitors used to the austere outlines of the Aegean. The bigger islands' west coastlines also include some of Greece's most gorgeous cliff-backed beaches, with sands kissed by a ring of milky turquoise water heading to the deeper azure sea.

The Dodecanese (Dhodhekánisos) are the Greek mainland's most distant island group, curving snugly towards the Turkish coast and practically within shouting distance of Anatolia. They are not a homogeneous group. The two largest, Rhodes (Ródhos) and Kos, are fertile giants where traditional agriculture has been mostly superseded by a tourist sector centered on beaches and nightlife. Kastellórizo, Smi, Hálki, Kássos, and Kálymnos, on the other hand, are mainly dry limestone outcrops that developed rich enough from the sea to create attractive port cities, particularly throughout the nineteenth century. Nssyros is a true oddity, formed by a still-smoking volcano that cradles rich flora, but Kárpathos is more diverse, with a wooded north grafted onto a stony limestone south.

The Sporades are located near to Greece's eastern coast, their rugged landscape revealing their position as extensions of Mount Plio, which is located directly opposite on the mainland. Skiáthos, Skópelos, and Alónissos are the quintessential Aegean tourist destinations, with excellent beaches, rich foliage, and crystal sea; they're all packed out in midsummer and close down nearly completely from October to April.

The seven major islands and four lesser islets strewn off Asia lesser's Aegean coast comprise a pretty haphazard archipelago. While there are architectural and landscape parallels, the strong distinct character of each island is significantly more remarkable, and hence they do not constitute an immediately recognized group, nor are they all connected by boats. With the probable exception of Sámos and Thássos, they do have one thing in common: they attract less visitors than other island groups and hence give a more authentic Greek feel. Nonetheless, the presence of great beaches, spectacular mountain scenery, intriguing attractions, and adequate amenities makes them a particularly appealing region of Greece to visit.

Creta (Krti) is much more than simply another Greek island. It doesn't feel like an island in many areas, notably in cities or along the developed north coast, but rather a sizable land in its own right. Of all, it is a precipitous, affluent, and at times shockingly cosmopolitan city with a vast and distinct history. At the same time, it offers all a Greek island might want and more: beautiful beaches, isolated hinterlands, and friendly people.

Porto Koufo beach is located in a nearly enclosed bay that serves as one of Greece's greatest natural harbors. From the beach, it appears like you are on a vast alpine lake rather than the sea. The beach is a small ribbon of sand that runs from the harbor to the southern end of the bay.
