Greece's beauty is undeniable. Known for its blue and white buildings and breathtaking coastal landscapes, this country is a favorite tourist destination, especially for Europeans. But Greece's beauty goes deeper than aesthetics. The country has an ancient culture that has had a significant influence on the arts, language, philosophy, politics, and sports of western society, including the genres of comedy and drama, western alphabets, Platonic ideals and the Socratic method, democracies and republics, and the Olympics.

Located in the Eastern Mediterranean, between the Ionian Sea in the west and the Aegean Sea in the east. The light winds normally found in the Ionian make this a perfect area for those with less experience to undertake their first yacht charter and the Ionian is a perfect location for a flotilla sailing holiday. 

 

An Aegean presents slightly more challenging conditions weather wise on your yacht charter with the infamous Meltemi blowing through the summer season but most navigation is by line of sight and in the main provides for a perfectly relaxing yacht charter.
