LEGASEA

Greece, a land of fabulous beauty, remains one of the world's most popular travel destinations and has almost 15,000 kilometers of coastline and over 2,000 islands, of which only 170 are inhabited.

There is no better way to explore the beauty of the Greek islands and the coastline of mainland Greece than on a private yacht. By chartering a yacht, you can see unique landscapes and experience the culture of several islands in a short period of time. Some of the islands have airports, making it possible to get to the yacht fairly quickly. The islands are close to each other, and the term "island-hopping" is used here for a reason. You can easily visit a dozen islands during a short cruise, explore isolated beaches with their unique local culture and taste the freshest national food.

Greece has over 250 days of sunshine a year and a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers. The peak cruising season is the summer from June to August, however, May, September and October are also great for yacht vacations. Temperatures are still comfortable, although a little cooler than in summer, and the water in the sea is lovely for swimming.

A typical day on a private yacht in Turkey is as much about water activities as it is about endless coastal walks. Look around and you'll find extraordinary stone slabs of cliffs on steep, winding shores, sleepy hilltop villages and ancient ruins - relics of mighty empires - living out their days in the dense coastal vegetation. Boat transitions between islands can be short, giving you the opportunity to enjoy peaceful morning wakes and lazy strolls around the islands and small villages. And if the hiking proves to be too much, you can re-board and relax in the shade on the deck of your yacht. Turkey is a country with a rather hot climate, during the summer season, from June to August, temperatures can rise above 40°C, however, May, September and October are the most pleasant months for chartering in this region, the temperature drops to around 20-25°C and you can comfortably enjoy your trip.
