Savour the Flavour of the Ionian Sea with Sailing Holidays in Greece
The islands of Greece hold thousands of hidden treasures and are famed for their beauty, tranquillity and, of course, their rich history. Whether you are seeking beauty, culture, relaxation or just want to step back into the past, there are hundreds of destinations in Greece to choose from, but the Ionian Islands, to the west of the mainland, have them all.
Lefkas, Cephalonia, Ithica, Maganissi, Kastos, Kalamos, Paxos and Corfu are some of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean, and there is no better way to explore them than by chartering a yacht.
Sailing holidays Greece give you the freedom to choose your own itinerary, deciding each day where you want to go based on how you feel. They allow you to enjoy not only the islands, but also the beauty of the crystal clear Ionian Sea from the luxury of a well-appointed yacht. The winds in the region are not as strong as in some other parts of Greece, and usually die down in at night, leaving the sea calm and glassy.
The beaches on the islands usually have very little sea swell, making them perfect places to swim, snorkel or just relax on a yacht moored on calm seas. With little to worry about in terms of tides and currents, the sailing is also technically quite simple, so you can focus on enjoying the sea and the islands.
By chartering a yacht for sailing holidays in Greece, you have far more freedom to find secluded bays and smaller villages that are not over-run by the tourist crowds. The food and the hospitality are sure to be excellent, too.
Finding a yacht to meet your needs is not hard. There are many companies that are dedicated to providing boats to sailing holidays in Greece. In the region of the Ionian Sea there is, for instance, Nisos Ionian Yacht Charter, owned and run by a British family, which has a special focus on both bareboat and skippered charters for its modern fleet of well-equipped yachts.
There are three-cabin boars like the Bavaria 34, the Jeanneau 42 Deck Saloon, and the most recent addition Amelie, a Bavaria 45 Cruiser with four cabins. These are some of the highest specification yachts operating in the region, and are ideal for sailing holidays Greece.
If you are an experienced sailor, the bareboat charter allows you to pick up the Boat and skipper it yourself, giving you total freedom to explore the region’s historic islands at your own pace and in complete privacy. For the less experienced, skippered charters offer the possibility of tuition in sailing skills during your holiday, or you could simply handle the sailing over to an experienced skipper and focus instead on relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the sea and the many unique islands.
It is even possible to get a balance between the privacy of the bareboat charter and the guidance of the skippered charter. An assisted bareboat charter gives you the safety of a flotilla, but with all the freedom of Bareboat Sailing.
Sailing holidays in Greece are the ideal way to explore the country’s beautiful islands and indulge in its rich culture and history, and you can easily find the boats, the service and the experience to help you create the ideal relaxing break.
