Be it the picturesque coast line, the fantastic wineries or the incomparable views, Santorini is made for sailing. Filled with a rich tapestry of history and luxury this islands is fast becoming a favourite for all who travel there.
Amorgos
If the heavenly Santorini isn’t exactly what you are looking for then try to make your way over the crystal seas on your luxury charter yacht to the equally stunning but less busy Amorgos. Left a little quieter by emigration the island is unspoilt in its scenery and filled with history of the Minoan and Hellenistic times. Among ancient city ruins and sheltered bays (Kalofana and Katapola bay are particular favourites) Amorgos offers so much to those in the know.
Ithaca
Ithaca, near to the largest Ionian island of Kefalonia, offers much of the same beauty. Its fabulous bays and turquoise seas offer a marvellous adventure for yacht charters. See towns nestled on hilltops and glorious coastline. Ithaca should always be on your itinerary.
Paros
An equally beautifully rugged island is that of Paros. Three deep inland bays provide perfect bases for a luxury yacht charter.

If being immersed in nature is what you’re in need of then Paros may just be the perfect island for you.
Hydra Gulf
Laying between the Saronic Gulf and Argolic Gulf is the Hydra Gulf. It’s one of the more popular areas for yacht charters in Greece and because of this all of the amenities of a tourist trade are offered including shopping and pottery. It is welcome relief from the farming villages of other islands and whilst you sleep in the comfort of your yacht, rocked by the gentle waves, you can rest happy knowing you have the souvenir you just had to get.
