A Rich History That’s Dying to be Explored

A yacht charter Greece trip is always filled with interesting sights to behold.

There’s no harm in learning a few facts while you’re on vacation. Greece is filled to the brim with locations and monuments that will catch your eye when sailing. Some of these sights include the oracle of Delphi and the Acropolis. As well as castles and fortresses situated in most towns.

Certain historical art pieces, like the Lamassu sculpture, will leave any tourist in awe. You can also find ancient ruins and temples beneath these towns where the locals are eager to teach you the history.

Every attraction or historical landmark is accessible by sea, so using your chartered yacht will be perfect for getting around.

Greece has over 6000 islands for you to explore, so there’s plenty of adventuring to do for a lifetime.

This means that you can have multiple private yacht charter destinations, discovering what each island has to offer until you’ve seen them all. The unpredictable weather and changing tides have nothing against Greece’s multitude of islands. There will always be some islands completely unaffected.

The Water and a Sailor’s Playground

Whenever someone mentions Greece, they often talk about the color and clearness of the water. The water in Greece is crystal clear and shines a turquoise blue, reflecting anything that shines onto it. It’s not every day you come across a body of water that you can see through with ease. 

These waters also make it perfect for newbies in the yachting world. Due to the islands surrounding the bodies of water, the areas you sail are relatively protected.

Affordable

If you find yourself a good deal with a yacht company, you could spend very little when traveling in a yacht charter around Greece.

Essentially, you’re only paying to get there. Everything else on the various islands is affordable. One of the great things about a yacht charter in Greece is that you can anchor anywhere you please without worrying about costs.

However, if anchoring isn’t your cup of tea, you can use town quays, where you can spend a few euros per night.

Eating out is extremely affordable, with a filling dinner for two costing anywhere between 10 to 20 euros. There’s also a variety of local markets selling fruit, vegetables, and street food at low prices.

Renting or hiring a yacht or boat in Greece isn’t seen as a luxury. It’s a way of life as most people get around and traverse through bodies of water to get to where they want to be.

Most of the towns have a port where you can dock your yacht. Filling up on water and electricity or gas for your boat. You will find that these resources rarely come at a cost, and if they do, it’s extremely affordable.

Taking a trip around Greece in a yacht will be welcomed by the locals as well as fellow charters looking to explore the country. Moreover, most restaurants near the ports offer complimentary washing and drying services for your clothes instead of hanging them on the yacht.
