What is the climate like in Greece?
Generally speaking, Greece has a very typical Mediterranean climate, with long summer months and mild winters. However, the climatic conditions can vary greatly between regions, so keep this in mind.
The most popular time to visit Greece is between May and September when it is dry, the temperature ranges from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, and there are many hours of sunshine. This provides the optimal conditions for renting a yacht, as you can enjoy the sun during the day and take a dip in the refreshing sea to cool off.
Should you rent a yacht with or without a skipper?
You may have noticed that you can choose to rent a yacht with or without a skipper through our website. While it is possible to charter a private yacht without a skipper, you will need an adequate boating license to do so. This being said, even if you do hold a boating license, you may still want to consider having a professional skipper on board with you! This way, all you have to do is relax and enjoy while they handle all of the navigation that comes with sailing, docking, and anchoring the yacht. Furthermore, a skipper will be local to the area, and so will be able to show you some of Greece’s hidden treasures that often go unnoticed by tourists.
Where to visit in Greece
To begin, you can choose to rent a yacht in mainland Greece, which consists of popular destinations such as Athens, Thessaloniki, and Kavala. In these cities, you are more likely to uncover metropolitan environments, as they are filled with a mix of tourists and locals. You can especially use these cities to discover some of the traditional Greek cultures and history such as Mount Olympus, the Parthenon, and artefacts from the Roman and Byzantine Empires. Out of the mainland, you can also find Crete which is the largest island in the country. In fact, it is so large that you can visit for one month and still have so much to explore. The island is famous for its medieval architecture and unique history.
If you aren’t sure where to begin on your boating holiday, you can let your senses guide you! You can visit the northern regions with large mountains and pine forests such as Skiathos. Alternatively, you can head south to find olive orchards and try the feta cheeses and seafood. No matter where you go on your yacht rental, this charming country with welcoming people is sure to leave you wanting more.
Then, another popular route to take by boat is to visit some of the main island groups. You have
- The Ionian Islands such as Corfu and Lefkas
- The Cyclades such as Mykonos, Tinos, and Santorini
- The Sporades such as Skiathos and Skopelos
- The Dodecanese such as Kos and Rhodes
- The Saronic Islands such as Poros and Hydra
All of these island groups provide something unique for their visitors. Whether you are interested in rocky beaches with cliffs and hiking trails or long sandy beaches, there is something for everyone. Likewise, the waters can be calm and aquamarine in nature or rough and vivacious. If you have the time to island hop between different areas, we definitely recommend you do this on your yacht rental!
