Greece

Greece beckons with its array of nearly 6,000 islands and islets, many of which are accessible only by boat, making it a haven for luxury superyacht charters.

The Cyclades, a jewel in the Aegean Sea, boasts 220 islands renowned for their iconic white-washed houses cascading towards azure waters. From bustling hotspots like Mykonos to tranquil escapes, the Cyclades offer diverse experiences best enjoyed from June to mid-July.

To the south of Athens lie the Saronic Islands, offering calm waters perfect for year-round sailing. Hydra and Aegina stand out amidst this ancient chain, while Angistri, Poros, and Spetses offer idyllic retreats.

The Dodecanese Islands, nestled off the Turkish coast, boast Byzantine churches and medieval castles. From Rhodes to Leros, these islands offer both well-known attractions and hidden gems away from tourist crowds.

The Ionian Islands, with their lush landscapes and predictable sailing conditions, provide a serene escape. A two-week charter allows exploration of Corfu and other highlights amidst verdant pine forests and olive groves.

In the Sporades, dubbed 'The Emerald of the Aegean,' tranquility reigns amidst rich vegetation and vibrant blue-green waters. Skiathos, Alonissos, and Skopelos offer authentic Greek culture and natural beauty, with fantastic cruising conditions during the warm summer months.
Regardless of the island chain chosen, a luxury superyacht charter typically begins in Athens Marina, Faliro Bay. While peak season sees crowds during June, July, and August, the shoulder months of May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures and fewer visitors, ideal for a serene Greek getaway by yacht.
