• Ionian Islands

The Ionian sailing season runs from April to October, with bright, sunny weather, light winds, and temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (68 to 86F). Ionian Islands are ideal for Sailing novices, because they can gain confidence by taking advantage of summer afternoon northwesterly winds ranging from Force 2 to Force 5.

• Dodecanese Islands 

Because of its southerly location, the Dodecanese receives Greece's warmest weather. When compared to the Ionian Islands, you may expect some windy days, but you'll be on the border of the Meltemi winds, so when they blow, they'll be less powerful. Between July and September, the winds may reach Force 7, therefore the location is best suited to intermediate-level sailors or skippered boats.

• Cyclades Islands

The Cyclades Islands are Greece's most popular and windiest island group. During the summer, Cyclades Islands are a challenging sailing area cause of the 'meltemi', the northern wind that blows from early July to mid August, usually around 5 Beaufort, with gusts reaching up to 8.

•  Saronic Gulf

Because of the short distances required and the comparatively benign winds in compared to other sailing places in Greece, the Saronic Gulf is the ideal destination for shorter cruises from Athens. During July and August, the “meltemi” makes its presence felt, with wind speeds reaching force 5 or 6. Because the place is quite far south, you can expect a very warm summer, with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees in peak season.

• Sporades Islands

In the spring and fall, when light winds of Force 3 to 5 blow steadily, the Sporades islands are an ideal destination for novice sailors. In the summer, winds can reach Force 7, making sailing more challenging.

If you wish to hire a yacht "bareboat," without a skipper or crew, the captain is one of the sailors who bears complete responsibility for the vessel. Yacht chartering bareboat is less expensive since you do not have to pay for a skipper or crew.

Catamarans are more stable due to the twin hull, which offers a comfy and stable deck. They are larger and quicker than monohulls. Monohulls, on the other hand, look fantastic, are faster to respond and less costly than catamarans, and slice through water effortlessly. Both have advantages and disadvantages, so the decision is clearly up to you.
