Why charter here
The Greek Islands span an enormous area, from the cosmopolitan Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros) to the lush Ionian Islands (Corfu, Kefalonia, Lefkada) and the remote Dodecanese (Rhodes, Kos, Patmos). Each island group has its own character, architecture, and sailing conditions. The predictable Meltemi wind of summer makes the Cyclades a sailor’s paradise; the Ionians offer calmer conditions perfect for families.
