Destinations

The Greek seas, as a cruising destination, are considered the most beautiful and unique, since they are scattered with pearls of over 6,000 islands and islets in the Aegean and the Ionian Sea, set between the blue sky and emerald blue-green waters; of these islands only ~230 are inhabited.

The islands are Greece’s chief morphological trait and an integral part of the country’s civilization and tradition, offering a highly diversified landscape: beaches stretching along many kilometers, sheltered bays and coves, golden stretches of sand with dunes, pebbly beaches, coastal caves with steep rocks and black sand typical of volcanic soil, coastal wetlands…

Apart from swimming, they lend themselves to scuba diving, snorkeling, water skiing, sailing and windsurfing.

As they are the cradle of some of the most ancient and prosperous European civilizations (the Cycladic, Minoan civilizations, etc.), the islands boast unique archaeological sites, an outstanding architectural heritage and centuries-old, fascinating local traditions of a multifaceted cultural past.

All the above combined with the ideal climate, the safety of the Greek waters and the short distances between ports and coasts, have rendered the Greek islands extremely popular among Greek and foreign visitors and ideal for sailing holidays.
