Guide to Greek Island Charters and Cruises

As anyone who has done it will tell you, the best way to visit the Greek Islands and the coast of mainland Greece is by sailboat. There are a large number of yacht companies, skipper-owners, flotillas, cabin cruises and even day sails cruising the Aegean and Ionian seas of Greece. This page will help you decide what kind of boat you want, where to go, when to go, and even who to go with.

For those people who want to sail in Greece but want to speak to an experienced advisor in the USA who can help them find the yacht and skipper that is most suitable for them look no further than David Econopouly at Charterayachtingreece.com. David has been matching boats and owners with clients for the last 15 years and works with some of the best skippers in the Mediterranean. He also offers bare-boating, flotillas and cabin charters, which are like cruises but on smaller boats, that are able to go to smaller islands and even make unscheduled stops in small coves for swimming and diving. If you have lots of questions to ask before you charter a boat then Charterayachtingreece.com is a good place to start.
