Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

What kind of experiences are there to enjoy on a private yacht charter in Greece?

A luxury yacht charter Greece getaway is never boring! The Ionian Islands – including Corfu, Paxos, Lefkas, Ithaka, Kefalonia and Zakynthos – have a cooler and lusher climate than other parts of Greece. Historically occupied by the Venetians, French and British, they offer a rich melting pot of culture, cuisine and architecture. Hike among olive groves and try your hand at olive picking and making your own oil. Tour an ancient harbour town and taste the unique local delicacies. For the more active on board your Greece luxury yacht trip, Lefkas has a growing reputation as a challenging and rewarding hotspot for advanced kite surfers.

The Cyclades – including Andros, Mykonos, Kea, Tinos, Santorini, Kynthos, Delos and Naxos – offer white-sand beaches, striking architecture and a varied pace of living, from sleepy fishing towns to the glitzy nightclubs of Mykonos. Delos, an uninhabited island in the middle of the archipelago, is a historical World Heritage Site worth a tour during your Greece luxury yacht charter. If you are feeling energetic, hike up the vertiginous cliffs of Santorini to spectacular views and photogenic houses shaped like bright white sugar cubes with sky-blue rooftops. The island is also a popular spot for wine tasting and tours. The dive site at Dragonisi Island Caverns off the south-east coast of Mykonos is a haven for scuba divers looking to observe some of the local aquatic wildlife.

The Saronic Gulf Islands – including Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses and Agistri – are close to capital city Athens and deliver ancient ruins and lively beach towns alongside peaceful hidden bays. The forested hinterland of Poros is a great spot for activities like hiking and cycling.

The 24 islands of the Sporades in the north-west of the Aegean Sea include Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonnisos and Skyros. Nature is in abundance for those who enjoy getting out onto and into the water, with dolphins and Mediterranean monk seals making their home in the marine park by Alonnisos.

The Dodecanese is known for its Byzantine churches, ancient archaeological sites and medieval castles, thanks to its proximity to western Asia. Including Rhodes, Kos, Symi, Nisyros and Kalymnos, the Dodecanese has a longstanding maritime trading tradition and rich cultural medley which is worth experiencing while on your luxury yacht charter Greece adventure. The active volcano on Nisyros is a popular spot for hiking and touring, while the rock climbing in Kalymnos is a highlight for many. Rhodes is steeped in history, with its Street of Knights and Palace of the Grand Masters.
