The port city of Athens, Greek provides access to the iconic Greek Isles. Sailing in Greece can take the form of protected and scenic coastal cruising or an open water adventure. Shorter passages and tamer, predictable winds can be the rule when sailing to the Greek Isles in the Saronic Gulf or conversely sailing on the Aegean Sea can provide the type of thrill seeking open-water passage that will challenge and enhance your yachting skills. The Cyclades Islands are perhaps the most popular grouping visited by bareboat sailors and offers rugged coastlines and island towns with ancient histories easily explored from cozy harbors. Swimming and snorkeling between visits to castles, historic fortressses, monasteries, tavernas, restaurants, bars and discos are typical of the pursuits of sailors in the Cyclades. Oft visited islands in the Cyclades include the famous Mykonos and Santorini and many others less well known but just as worthy of inclusion in your charted course.
