The best Greece yacht charter destinations to discover
Santorini
Don’t be put off by the fact that Santorini is one of the most popular Greek islands. Cruising into this stunning volcanic island during a Greece yacht charter is a wonderful experience, with beautiful white-washed buildings perched along the island’s striking cliff edges. Sail along Santorini’s coastline and you’ll discover hidden coves and stunning beaches lined with different coloured sands, including red, white, and black.
Santorini boasts a fabulous farm-to-table scene, with an abundance of locally grown produce thanks to the island’s rich volcanic soil. Head to one of the island’s laid-back taverners and feast on local delicacies such as mashed fava beans, tomato fitters, saganaki (fried cheese in filo pastry drizzled with honey), and the ubiquitous Greek salad – enjoy with perfectly roasted leg of lamb, then cap your feast off with a glass of renowned Vinsanto, a sweet wine made from grapes grown in vineyards that are more than 3,000 years old. Alternatively, shop the local farmer’s markets, then enjoy a farm-to-table feast aboard your luxury hybrid yacht charter.
Rhenia
This wonderful island is completely uninhabited making it a great destination for those looking for an off-the-beaten-track Greece yacht charter experience, where they can enjoy complete peace and quiet.
With no amenities, anchoring up and lounging on one of the island’s pristine beaches, or enjoying a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters is de rigueur. After, relax amidst the blissful surroundings aboard your hybrid yacht charter.
Nearby is the island of Delos, one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in Greece and a UNESCO world heritage site. A must-visit during a Greece yacht charter.
Chios
Located in the northern Aegean Sea, Chios is the fifth largest of the Greek islands, yet remains one of Greece’s hidden gems.
