Greece

Rugged wild islands and blue waters characterise the Ionian islands and Aegean. Yachts cruising these islands follow in the steps of Odysseus, and take in temple ruins, sheer clifftops and crescent beaches fringed by turquoise waters. An archipelago of olive groves, gently swaying cypresses and colourful portside fishing villages, the Ionians are a step back from the 21st century.

These breezy islands each have an identity of their own, with varying landscapes and cultures, influenced by the Venetians, French and English as well as mainland Greece. From wilder terrains in Kefallonia, Paxi and Ithaki to world-class beaches in Lefkada, the islands offer something for every charterer.
