Greece:
Ionians. These islands on the western side of Greece have many anchorages, varieties of fishing villages, nightlife, easy sailing and much to do ashore for adventure. You can swim off the famous island of Skorpios or go south to Odysseus's island of Ithaca with its breathtaking harbors and pretty taverns serving fabulous greek cuisine. Rent a scooter and explore the island more soaking in the lovely scenery. Go west to Cephalonia and enjoy its lakes, waterfalls and one of the finest beaches in Greece. Winds average 5-15 knots.
The islands on the eastern side of Greece can be divided into four groups; The Saronic, The Cyclades, The Dodecanese and The Sporades. The Saronic Gulf islands are closest to Athens, easy to get to and are less affected by the stronger August winds than the Cyclades. The Cyclades are what most people imagine when they think of a Greek Island. Whitewashed houses, pretty colors and beautiful views. Some of the larger islands are visited by cruise ships and are more touristy than people expect. The Dodecanese are just off Turkey and provide a bit of everything, without the crowds. We do not recommended sailing from here to Turkey due to the paperwork required. The Sporades are north of The Cyclades and less affected by tourism. This is a popular destination for bareboat charterers. Please give me details of suitable yachts.
