Some other reasons why you should choose Greece for your next private yacht charter are:

Culture: In ancient times, Greece was the birthplace of Western culture and democracy. Greek philosophers and scientists pioneered many sciences: medicine, mathematics, biology, philosophy, chemistry, astronomy, physics, and others. They also introduced populations to the art of acting through Greek tragedy and Greek comedy. Greece has a long history of culture from ancient times, through Byzantine times to the present day. Wherever you go in Greece, you will see an important monument to the glorious past of ancient Greece!

Natural beauty: If you love nature, you will admire Greece, especially the magical Greek islands! The surroundings invite you to visit the Greek islands year after year and discover something new every time. Small white villages, crystal clear waters, golden beaches, pine forests near the beaches that make the waters turquoise in some areas, deep blue waters in other parts … Each island is different and has its own magnificent beauty! ! The “stars” of the island are Mykonos and Santorini. But there are a few others like Milos, Siros, Paros, Kea, and Naxos worth seeing! Don’t put them aside … they will reward you once you decide to visit!

Sightseeing: Sail to the island of Delos with your own private yacht charter or local water taxi. Visit Ekatontapiliani in Paros, the industrial museum in Syros, the mining museums in Milos, the marble craft museum in Tinos, and the museum of archaeological and Venetian art on the island of Naxos. The above are just a few museums in the Cycladic island group. There are many more scattered throughout the rest of the Greek islands of the Aegean archipelago. Needless to say, it is suggested to visit all the archaeological sites in Athens before starting your boat rental in Greece!

Climate: Greece celebrates summer from May to October! Summer is usually very hot but dry. Clear skies, it hardly ever rains. A perfect place for your vacations! In the Cyclades, you can find some winds in the summer, the famous “Meltemi” winds. These are strong winds that blow between July and August. During this time of year, sailing becomes a bit difficult, but not impossible, except in extreme situations. The Captain of your private yacht charter constantly studies the weather conditions and knows exactly when to sail, when not to sail, what to avoid. He is there to make a personalized itinerary for you, based on the weather conditions, based on your tastes and preferences! The temperatures in July and August are high, they can exceed 40 degrees Celsius. On the islands, however, high temperatures are not felt so much due to the microclimate that each island has, the landscape, the open sea, etc. High temperatures are most noticeable in Athens and other large cities. In general, the best months to rent a boat in Greece are June, early July, September, and early October.

Hospitality: Greeks are well known for their hospitality. It is common for a Greek to go out of his way to help a tourist, give directions, give suggestions and help immediately when someone gets lost, etc. The Greek mentality and hospitality will blow your mind! Wherever you go, you will meet locals who are eager to make you feel welcome. Greeks will make your vacation feel very special!

Culinary experiences: Greece is famous for its cuisine. Each Greek island has its own recipes. The most famous cuisine in Greece is that of Crete! All the islands have their own flora based on their own microclimate, that is, their own herbs, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, wines, olive oil, fresh fish and seafood. Due to the perfect climate, fruits and vegetables have a superb and distinguished taste that will overwhelm you. Try local traditional dishes like moussaka, pastitsio, souvlaki, the local Greek feta cheese, olives, squid and octopus prepared by the locals. The dishes in Greece do not taste the same as you taste them in a Greek restaurant in your own city. The ingredients are different, the way of cooking is also different. Especially if you go to Crete … you will never forget Cretan dishes, guaranteed!

Greek beaches: When you think of a hot and sunny vacation, you picture yourself on a Greek beach, like one of those pictures you see in magazines … Visit the picturesque seaside towns and spend the day at the beach. Don’t sit still if you want, but enjoy water sports like skiing, playing beach volleyball with the locals, snorkeling, fishing or renting a wave runner … The barman at the chiringuito will keep you cool and hydrated so you can have fun from morning until the sun goes down! This is the vacation you need! Or take your charter boat in Greece and visit a new beach every day! Jump from island to Greek island! Explore all the Greek islands! Sounds like fun? If you decide to charter a private yacht in Greece, plan ahead!

Other reasons to visit Greece on your own private yacht charter are: total relaxation, interesting nightlife, it is an ideal and safe getaway for the family and also a very romantic place for honeymooners.
