Yacht Charter, Location Destination: Greece!

Greek Island Village Anchorage

Imagine cruising on a crewed charter yacht through the crystal clear waters of a charter yacht location like Greece!  With over 6000 islands to visit on a crewed yacht charter itinerary in the Greek Islands, there is something for everyone.  Greece is a yacht charter destination that is a perfect location to visit on a crewed yacht charter, as many of the islands and many of the myriad of anchorages available can only be visited by a private charter yacht.  On a yacht charter through the Greek Islands you might find yourself the only visitor to a remote island or enjoying the isolated splendor of your own anchorage with no one else in sight.  Combine visiting islands in Greece that can only be visited by private yacht charter with visiting islands in Greece that we all know and love such as Santorini and Mykonos on your own private yacht charter on your own unique yacht charter itinerary, cruising where you want, when you want.

Yacht Charter; Visiting the Greek Sporadic Island of Alonnisos

 

Alonnisos Island - Quiet Anchorage

While there is a village called Alonnisos, or Chora on the island of Alonnisos, the main port on this island, when visiting by crewed yacht charter, is in the town of Patitiri, where ferry service only connects one with the mainland or other Sporadic Islands.  There is no airport, so visiting Alonnisos, the northernmost of the Greek Sporadic Islands, by crewed yacht charter is a great way to visit this very green spruce tree covered Sporadic Island.

Yacht Charter; Visiting the Greek Sporadic Island of Skopelos

 

Skopelos Town

With no airport, visiting the island of Skopelos in the Greek Sporadic island chain by crewed yacht charter is one of the best ways to see this island.  Skopelos is one of the largest of the Greek Sporadic Islands, located between Skiathos and Alonissos.  A very green island, as are many of the Sporadic Islands, Skopelos is covered with cooling pine forests and surrounded by crystal clear water with many anchorages for a yacht charter visit to this lovely Greek Sporadic Island.

Yacht Charter; Mama Mia! The Greek Island of Skiathos

 

Skiathos and Bourtzi Island

Located about 45 miles off of the eastern coast of the Greek mainland, Skiathos, is a lovely island to include on a crewed yacht charter of the Greek Sporadic Islands.  The island of Skiathos has over 60 beaches and several of these fine sand beaches and the Old Port in Skiathos were set locations for scenes filmed for the recently released movie, “Mama Mia”.  A very rich green island, Skiathos should not be missed while on a crewed yacht charter of the Sporadic Islands of Greece.

Yacht Charter: Cruising through the extraordinary Corinth Canal

 

Corinth Canal, Greece

Built between 1881 and 1893, cutting across the Isthmus of Corinth, the Corinth Canal is still just as helpful a navigational aid today for a crewed yacht charter as for general shipping when built, and is still a busy commercial shipping canal.  Cruising through the Corinth Canal while on a crewed yacht charter in Greece, is not only a experience within itself, but also a cruising shortcut to access the Ionian Islands from Athens for a crewed yacht charter cruise of the Greek Ionian Islands.

Yacht Charter: The Mystical Greek Island of Patmos

 

Bells of the Monastery of St. John, Patmos

One of the northern most islands in the Greek Dodecanese Island Chain, Patmos has played an important part in history for centuries, and is a very compelling island to visit on a crewed yacht charter. Patmos is a beautiful island with lovely beaches and coastlines, however if interested in the history of Christian Religion, visiting the island of Patmos on a crewed yacht charter can be both time spent on a lovely Greek Dodecanese Island and time spent exploring an island featured in Christian Biblical history.

Yacht Charter; Visiting Zakynthos on a crewed yacht charter

 

Zakynthos

Considered to have the loveliest and most photographed beaches in the world, Zakynthos is a natural stop on any crewed yacht charter of the Greek Ionian Islands. Zakynthos is the southern most main island in the Ionian Island chain and a perfecting beginning or ending port for a crewed yacht charter of the Greek Ionian Islands. Now a popular resort island, Zakynthos has a lot to offer any yachtsman visiting this island while on a crewed yacht charter from beautiful beaches and greenery to enjoy during day light hours to an active nighttime clubbing scene to enjoy after dark.

Yacht Charter, Visiting the Saronic Greek Island of Poros

View of Poros Island

Not very large, and just a stone’s throw off of the mainland of Greece, along the Peloponnesian Peninsula, the Island of Poros, is a natural stop on an itinerary for a crewed yacht charter while cruising in the Saronic Greek Islands. The main harbor is very protected and the new quay built recently offers ample stern to dockage for your charter yacht along the main street of Poros. Just south of the Saronic Island of Aegina and north of the Saronic Island of Hydra, include Poros in a crewed yacht charter itinerary of the Saronic Islands of Greece and the Greek Peloponnesian Peninsula.

Yacht Charter; a visit to the Greek Island of Aegina

Island of Aegina

Just off of the coast of Athens is the Greek Island of Aegina, a great island to visit at the start or finish of a crewed yacht charter cruise of the Greek Islands. While within sight of Athens, 17 nautical miles from Athens Harbor, the island of Aegina is a world away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Athens, with the immediate feel when cruising into the main harbor of the island on a crewed yacht charter, of the much slower life found in the Greek Islands. Part of the Saronic Island chain, Aegina is a great island to include while on a crewed yacht charter of the Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea.

Yacht Charter; Visit the Ionian Island of Corfu

Corfu

One of the most northern of the Greek Ionian Islands, Corfu is an important and well known Greek Island and well worth visiting on a crewed yacht charter of the Ionian Islands in Greece. Corfu has an international airport, and therefore is a great island to begin or end a crewed yacht charter of the Ionian Island chain. With strong ties to the mythology and history of Greece, and strong ties to both the Venetian and British occupation of the island, Corfu is an exciting island to visit while cruising on a yacht charter in Greece.
