With over 6,000 islands and islets, Greece is a legendary sailing destination. There are so many beautiful places that one trip is not enough to see it all. The Cyclades, with Santorini and Mykonos, are known for their volcanic landscapes and white architecture. The Sporades offer calm waters and lush green forests. The Dodecanese allows you to explore islands full of history, such as Rhodes.

If you're wondering what to do in Greece, let us tell you in advance that during your trip you’ll discover the richness of its culture and enjoy its unmatched heritage. So we recommend you don’t miss monumental Athens, sail through the mysteries of Poros Island, and discover the seventh wonder in Rhodes. Plus, it’s a must to relax on one of its turquoise beaches and, of course, you can’t leave without tasting the delicious moussaka, dolmades, skordalia, and tzatziki. And here are many more ideas of what you can do in Greek lands.
Greece has around 40 national and international airports. The main ones are in Athens and Thessaloniki, where you can make a stopover if your final destination is one of its wonderful islands. In addition, there are many ferry lines available at affordable prices.
In Greece, temperatures range from 18 to 26 °C, and can reach up to 35 °C during the months of July and August. During this period, a wind known as the Meltemi—which blows from the north of the Balkans—is common. It brings strong winds, especially in the Cyclades islands, due to the lack of surrounding mainland.
It depends on the type of boat you want to rent. If you’re renting a motorboat, you need a license if it has more than 30 HP; if it has less, a license is not required. To rent a yacht, you must have a valid license and a sailing resume detailing the boats you've operated and the waters you've sailed in.
