The southeast European country of Greece is blessed with beautiful blue waters, glorious beaches and coves, archaeological masterpieces, mouth-watering food and a variety of islands and resorts that will please any traveller.
Seeing as much of the draw of this country centres around its seaside treasures, and the fact that the country boasts thousands of islands to explore, this makes Greece the perfect destination to enjoy and explore from the water. From Santorini to Mykonos to Rhodes, Crete, Corfu, Naxos, Paros, Zakynthos, Kos, Delos and more, it is difficult to not become swiftly infatuated with each and every stunning island and all of the varied experiences that they offer. This is why we believe the best way to revisit the old favourites and discover new ones is by getting out on your very own luxury yacht.
Why charter a yacht?
With 9,000 miles of splendid coastline showcasing secluded bays, beautiful beaches, Venetian harbours, sublime lagoons and more, it makes perfect sense to get out there in the comfort of your own yacht. Not only will hiring your very own slice of luxury transportation provide you with a safer way to spend your holidays following the worries of travel in this post-pandemic world, but yacht charter in Greece is a finely tuned experience steeped in luxury and adventure. Greek hospitality reigns supreme and on any stop you make you are sure to experience a warm welcome, whether you are pulling up to one of the many anchorages only accessible by yacht or stopping off for some retail therapy or for an injection of culture from one of the many historical sites.
What type of yachts can you charter in Greece?
In addition to the above, there is, of course, the draw of travelling on a luxury yacht itself and with the range of lavish options to choose from, with no compromise on style and comfort, you’ll be planning your Greek getaway in no time.
Including 75ft sloops which sleep eight guests to 206ft superyachts which sleep 12 and explorer yachts which house 36 guests and include a helicopter if required, and so much more, the range of incredible vessels you can charter for your adventures are, to say the least, impressive. Expect luxuries on board including opulent furnishings and exquisite finishings inside, superb deck spaces outside with bars, dining, lounging and sunbathing areas, hot tubs, onboard water skis, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, cinema rooms and luxurious cabins. A holiday onboard a luxury yacht really will provide you and your fellow travellers with the dream holiday of a lifetime.
Exploring the best of Greece
One thing that yacht charter promises, in addition to all that luxury of course, is exploration. Your very own private hotel on the water can take you anywhere you want to go, so if you fancy waking up and taking a dip in a blue lagoon off the coast of northwest Crete one day and climbing the Acropolis to admire the Parthenon in Athens on another, then you shall.
With a history spanning four millennia, it’s safe to say that there is plenty to see and do in between all the sailing, water sports, sunbathing and general luxuriating, and ensuring you arrange a few stops on your travels is a must. From Michelin star restaurants to experience to the ancient ruins to explore in and around Athens, Greece’s capital should certainly make it onto your list. Head to the National Archaeological Museum to uncover some treasures, take in a show at the Athens Concert Hall and wander the many monuments and ancient landmarks that grace the city.
When you’re done with city life, there’s always the charming island of Kefalonia off the western coast of the mainland to visit. From picture-perfect harbours to sandy coves and the capital Argostoli to explore, this island will certainly work its charm. And who could forget the notorious white and blue hillside buildings that Santorini displays so well? Get your camera ready at sunset and head to the two main towns of Fira and Oia to explore before setting sail for historical Rhodes, where, among others, the remnants of its occupation of the Knights of St. John during the Crusades lie.
Or how about hopping to Mykonos for those summer party vibes before heading back to the comfort and glamour of your dreamy yacht? However you decide to spend your days, we are sure that you and your holiday companions will have the time of your life on your luxury yacht charter in Greece.
