Traveling to Greece is on just about everyone’s bucket list. You can’t help but daydream about gorgeous sunsets along the Mediterranean Sea or sinking your toes into the notorious black sand beaches. Or maybe you picture yourself drinking a cup of coffee while setting sail aboard a gulet charter that takes you to places you never thought you would see.

 

If you weren’t aware, Greece has 227 different islands. There are different clusters such as the Ionian Islands or the Cyclades islands. With so many options to choose from, it may feel impossible to narrow down where you plan to go. Well, look no further because we’ve got you covered.

 

If you are looking for the ultimate guide to your top five Greek islands to visit, keep reading. We’ll take you to some of our top destinations like Corfu, Naxos, Zante, Santorini, and Mykonos.

 

Corfu

 

Along the western side of Greece, right near Italy, is an area of islands known as the Ionian islands. These are by far one of the most breathtaking sets of islands that are worth visiting, specifically Corfu. It’s filled with so much history within its city to explore or you can hike throughout the various hilltop ruins such as Angelokastro, or Angel’s Castle.

 

A unique way to explore Corfu is through a gulet charter. Through Sail In Greece’s Corfu gulet charter cruise, you’ll experience sailing for eight days around different locations on a cabin charter. We highly recommend that if you are going to be taking a journey to Greece that you embark on an adventure that takes you through hidden coves and natural environments you may not have the opportunity to see otherwise.

 

Naxos

 

This quaint little island is home to just over 7,000 people. One of the best times to visit is in the fall because you will find that there are fewer tourists and more locals around. It gives you that small island feel and no matter where on the island you go, you are extremely close to the water. You’ll find more secluded beaches that offer privacy amongst the rocks or you can head over to another coast which may offer more options such as snorkeling.

 

While you’re there, make sure to check out Panormos Beach with its golden sand and crystal clear water. This beach does require a car to access, but it is well worth the drive. Or if you plan on staying near the port, you can also check out Agios Georgios which is only a ten-minute walk from when you get off of the boat.

 

Zante

 

If you want to spoil yourself on your Greek adventure, we suggest taking a tour through Zante. Also known as Zakynthos, the island is known as a summer resort location and there is no question as to why. It’s the southernmost island of the Ionian group and is well known for its Caretta-Caretta turtles as they come there to lay their eggs.

 

If you’re looking to give yourself a luxury experience, try onboarding a Zante cruise aboard the M/S Aphrodite. It seats up to twenty passengers and offers fine dining options as you explore the island for seven nights. Or, depending on the season, you may have a delicious Captain’s dinner aboard one of Sail in Greece Zante cruise’s other gulets such as Hemera, Harmonia, Eros, Panagiotia, or Auror.

 

Santorini

 

But of course, how could we possibly forget one of the most well-known, romantic islands of them all? This island of Santorini, filled with white architecture and blue rooftops along the Aegean Sea, is one of those places you see on the front of postcards. About 15,000 people live on this beautiful island and it is a gorgeous place to visit any time of year.

 

The main villages in Santorini are Oia and Fira, located along the volcanic cliff sides of the island. There is a hike you can take that brings you from one point of the island to the other over the course of six miles. You’ll pass through Firostefani and Imerovigli along the way, giving you the ability to see the island in its entirety.

 

You’ll end your hike by watching the iconic sunset overlooking the ocean and dine out with delicious Turkish-influenced cuisines. What more could you ask for than the most picture-perfect way to end a gorgeous hike along the cliffs?

 

Mykonos

 

Mykonos is an island that is known for its thriving nightlife so if you are looking to dance beneath the stars of Greece, this is the spot for you. Luxurious hotels and fine dining are nearby, but if you are looking for something a little off-the-beaten-path, you may want to check out Agia Anna Beach. There are minimal tourist spots here such as watersports or beach bars which makes it the perfect little spot to hide away for a day at the beach.

 

If you are looking to find a blend of culture, history, and a friendly atmosphere, you will definitely want to consider treating yourself to a Mykonos Greek Island Cruise by Sail in Greece. It provides an opportunity to relax by the ocean while also having the element of socialization with friends both new and old aboard the gulet. This is a great option for people who are looking to throw a bachelor or bachelorette party or are going to be hitting the open seas with friends. 

 

No matter where you decide to go on your vacation to Greece, you will want to make the absolute most out of your time there. Your best bet is by creating a unique experience that caters to what you want your dream trip to be. Sail in Greece offers both intimate and large party gulet cruises through Greece.

 

Don’t settle for flying when you could have the opportunity of a lifetime to set sail to multiple different islands around the Mediterranean sea. The only step left is to book your trip!

There are a million different ways you could explore the world. Just like any other vacation, you could get on an airplane and stay at a regular, generic hotel. But what if you had the option of upgrading your travel experience with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity along the water?

 

No, we aren’t talking about a typical cruise ship with thousands of people. We’re talking about taking a gulet charter cruise along the gorgeous Mediterranean, Aegean, and the Ionian Sea.

 

Taking a gulet charter may be one of the most unique experiences you could have when taking a trip to Greece. Unlike a traditional cruise ship, a gulet cruise only has around, on average, twelve people at a time. There are different cruises that allow for more passengers to come aboard, but no more than forty-five.

 

You will absolutely love taking a gulet charter cruise for reasons beyond what a traditional cruise can provide. Typically when you are taking a cruise, you may stop at a destination for only a few hours. This isn’t nearly enough time to experience the island to its fullest extent.

 

With a gulet cruise, the boat will dock overnight, so you’re able to explore the city until the sun comes up, and board back onto the boat and into your ensuite cabin at your leisure.

 

It’s a luxurious and memorable experience for any type of traveler looking to explore the Greek Islands. If you are looking for a vacation of a lifetime, take a look at our best gulet charters for your next holiday adventure.

 

Ionian Cruise

 

Cruising through the Ionian Sea is an unbelievable journey that takes you through seven main islands. Your first stop will be in Corfu, and you will travel along to Sivota, Parga, Antipaxos, Gaios, Lakka, and back to Corfu for your final stop.

 

This cruise is seven days long and includes a majority of your food, guided tours, stops along private beaches, and stops along the way to swim in the gorgeous blue oceans. Spend a day riding a motorcycle through the gorgeous countryside of Paxos or explore secluded sea caves for underwater sea life in the bays of Lakka. No matter what type of adventure you are looking for, Ionian Gulet Charter Cruise has a little bit of something for everyone.

 

Mykonos Cruise

 

If you are looking for a party experience of a lifetime, look no further with our Mykonos Charter Cruise. This is not your typical cruise ship by any means. This is a unique and perfect opportunity to meet new friends and get to live the European party life while simultaneously getting the chance to experience the culture and history of the Greek Islands, too!

 

On day one, you will start in Mykonos to spend the day on the beach filled with young people and beach bars. But try not to drink too much because once night falls, you’ll be brought over to Cavo Paradiso for a night of body paint and dancing with some of the world’s best DJs.

 

This seven-day gulet charter cruise takes you from Mykonos to Paros, Ios, Santorini, Naxos, and several other hot spots around the islands.

 

And yes, this charter gulet offers free shots of Ouzo for its passengers, too. 

 

Zante Cruise

 

While most cruises bring you to popular tourist destinations, you will be pleasantly surprised by the hidden gems a gulet cruise can offer. On the Zante Cruise from Sail In Greece, you’ll find yourself exploring some of the best-kept secrets along the Ionian Sea. This cruise will bring you to various places like Poro for a night on the town or Meganisi.

 

Meganisi is usually overshadowed by its larger and more popular island of Mykonos, but you will be so grateful you had the opportunity to see these gorgeous cliffside views. Try snorkeling in the crystal clear waters and watch the stars from the deck of your charter gulet.

 

Corfu Cruise

 

One of the most popular gulet cruises to take is the Corfu Cruise. For seven days, you’ll embark across multiple areas throughout the Ionian Sea. Corfu is known as “the emerald island,” as it is the greenest of all of Greece’s islands. It’s lush with over two million olive trees covering the entirety of the island. Corfu is also filled with an immense amount of history with its Byzantine churches and ancient streets of Kassiopi.

 

With the Coru gulet cruise, you have the option of the short gulet route or the long gulet route. The shorter route gives you less time sailing onboard the ship, about two to three hours, which gives you even more time to spend at each destination.

 

The longer routes allow for more relaxation time on the boat, giving about four to five hours of sailing time. While there is less time at each destination, it also allows for you to see more places throughout your vacation.

 

Harmony Cruise

 

For many travelers who are coming to Greece, they are more than likely flying into Athens on the mainland first before heading to the islands. Luckily, there are plenty of options to add Athens as a stop en route. There is also the option of taking the Harmony Cruise, which starts and ends in Athens, for those who want to go full circle from where the airport is located.

 

You’ll spend seven days traveling from Athens to Poros, Ermioni, Spetses, Hydra, Aegina, and finally back to Athens where you began. This cruise is great for those who are young at heart and looking for a relaxing, yet a socializing type of vacation. The Harmony Greek Island Cruises are extremely fun and even offer a BBQ party as a part of the package!

 

Remember, going to Greece will be an experience you will never forget. Make sure to create a magical, unique, and life-changing memory when you set sail on your Greek adventure by taking one of Sail In Greece’s gulet charter cruises.

Greece is one of the most beautiful places on Earth to visit. It’s no wonder over thirty million visitors come from around the globe to explore its gorgeous array of islands along the Mediterranean Sea. From its natural environmental wonders to the endless array of ocean views along with the sunset, you will find yourself never wanting to leave.

 

If you are getting ready to embark on your island vacation to Greece, here are a few things you’ll want to know ahead of time so you can make the most of your experience.

 

Take It Slow

 

The people in Greece don’t believe in rushing through life, so be prepared to have your trip coast along with the same timeline. This is because the Greeks focus more of their lives on rest and family than they do on work. But there is also the classic siesta time which was meant to give people who lived in Greece a time to rest and take a break from being in the heat all day.

 

People will usually take naps and stores will be closed, so make sure to account for anything you might want to do during those hours in the afternoon. Double-check with your hotel, attractions you want to explore, and restaurants you may want to visit to ensure you aren’t showing up when the island is taking a rest.

 

Don’t Plan to Shop on Sunday

 

If you are visiting any of the local shops on a Sunday, expect for them to be closed. Just as we mentioned about living on island time, Greece is also a country that takes Sunday as a rest day. This means stores and restaurants will more than likely be closed. So make sure to double-check any of the places you intend to visit first.

 

Learn Your Basic Greetings, Directions, and Requests

 

The Greek language is beautiful but is also very intricate depending on where you come from. Along with learning some of the local language, it can also be extremely helpful to learn some of the basic greetings, directions, and requests while navigating directions or ordering lunch at local restaurants.

 

Visit More Than One Island

 

Going to Greece is more than likely not a quick plane or train ride for the usual tourist. It may have taken you several hours, if not an entire day of travel just to get to Athens. But with over 200 different islands along five various oceans and seas, you won’t want to make your only stop within the main city. Make sure that while you are visiting Greece, you take an opportunity to visit multiple different Greek islands.

 

But once you start exploring, you’ll realize very quickly that you will have to work with different ferries that don’t always run on time as you bounce from one island to the next. Instead of spending most of your vacation attached to your phone trying to navigate times or figure out directions, you definitely will want to consider taking a cruise around Greece.

 

Sail In Greece offers a wide range of gulet cruises to provide you with the most unique and memorable vacation experience you could imagine. For seven days, you will sail along with one of the five different oceans aboard one of their gulet cabins.

 

You’ll make different stops depending on which of the Greek gulet cruises you choose from, such as the Zante Cruise or the Ionian Cruise. Some are more intimate settings that are perfect for honeymoons or romantic getaways while others serve more people and create a more socializing type of environment. No matter which one you choose, you’ll find luxury and relaxation while you sail out into the open sea.

 

Plan To Bring Cash

 

While there are several places you can use cards, you may find yourself more in a snag than usual as most of Greece still primarily uses cash. There usually are plenty of ATMs that are available to use as they realize many of the tourists that visit from out of town are probably unaware.

 

Tipping Is Optional

 

If you live somewhere like the United States, you may be accustomed to tipping when you go out to eat. However, tipping in Greece is completely optional, regardless of what island you may be visiting. There is no suggested amount to tip and again is only up to you if you feel the need or desire to tip.

 

Just as a caution, there are some instances where gratuity will be included in your bill automatically. Always look at your check to see if it’s already been added.

 

Always Use Bottled Water When Staying on the Islands

 

While there is plenty of good drinking water available on the mainland, the Greek Islands don’t always allow you access to clean drinking water. There are even circumstances where the drinking water is scarce and is usually only used for household chores such as doing laundry or taking care of personal hygiene. Bottled water is very accessible so make sure to stock up or check with your gulet cruise crew to provide you with some.

 

Visit the Different Kinds of Beaches

 

While visiting Greece, you will learn very quickly how many different types of beaches exist. In Santorini, for instance, you will find one of the most unusual beaches. The volcanic landscape has created a unique beach known as the Red Beach at Akrotiri where the huge rock walls surrounding you, along with the sand beneath your toes, are completely red. There are also two black sand beaches on the island of Santorini called Perissa Beach and Kamari Beach.

 

If you’re visiting somewhere such as Corfu, you may want to stop and see Paleokastritsa. It’s a unique beach that has an equally unique history. It’s a village where the mythical Phaeacians once lived. Along with this village, you’ll find gorgeous beaches that have unbelievably local mountains as the backdrop of the landscape.

 

Your vacation to Greece is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and your experience should reflect that. If you want to avoid having to worry about what your trip will look like, talk to Sail in Greece to learn about a luxury, completely stress-free, once-in-a-lifetime experience aboard one of our many Greece gulet cruises. We promise you will not be disappointed.

Has oído hablar de un crucero antes, pero ¿qué pasa con un crucero en goleta? Estas experiencias únicas brindan una aventura que nunca olvidará en un impresionante yate de madera. Si bien esto puede no parecer extravagante, estos cruceros son excepcionalmente lujosos y le permiten ver Grecia bajo una luz completamente nueva.

Pero, si nunca ha oído hablar de una goleta o un crucero en goleta, es posible que desee responder algunas preguntas primero. Una goleta es un tipo de yate creado en el estilo clásico de madera. La mayoría de estos barcos tienen entre 4 y 16 camarotes, por lo que son ideales si desea unas vacaciones privadas o semiprivadas. Cuando piensa en un crucero, probablemente primero imagine grandes barcos que transportan de cientos a miles de personas, pero un crucero en goleta griega es diferente ya que el barco es más pequeño y elegante.

Los cruceros en goleta son más comunes en Grecia y los países vecinos, y si desea la mejor experiencia en goleta, debería considerar tomar unas vacaciones en las islas que Grecia tiene para ofrecer.

Si alguna vez ha querido conocer Grecia, aquí hay ocho razones para tomar unas vacaciones en una goleta en Grecia.

 

1. Un crucero en goleta es más pequeño e íntimo

Mientras que algunos cruceros en goleta por el Mediterráneo se centran más en las fiestas y otros se centran más en relajarse y hacer turismo, todas nuestras opciones se adaptan a grupos más pequeños de personas. Incluso las opciones más grandes de nuestra flota solo tienen 16 cabinas, por lo que no tendrá que lidiar con grandes multitudes.

Si bien los cursos más tradicionales en los que piensa pueden ser divertidos, pasará la mayor parte de su tiempo manejando multitudes en lugar de disfrutar de las vistas y actividades. Con nosotros, puede elegir el crucero en goleta que le encantará.

 

2. Podrás experimentar más de tu destino

La mayoría de la gente no dejaría pasar la oportunidad de explorar las islas griegas. Pero, si bien hay varias formas de experimentar el área, los cruceros en goleta son una de las mejores opciones. El bote es lo suficientemente pequeño como para que puedas ver todo alrededor. No pasarás la mayor parte de tu tiempo dentro de un barco grande. Estos cruceros están diseñados para permitirle grandes vistas de cualquier isla o islas que elija explorar.

 

3. Los cruceros en goleta se adaptan a cualquier estilo de vacaciones

Algunas personas quieren vivirlo durante sus vacaciones, y si eres una de esas personas, ¿qué podría ser mejor que ir de fiesta en un barco en Grecia? Pero, si un ambiente más tranquilo es más su velocidad, también ofrecemos opciones de goletas más relajadas. Atendemos a todas las edades.

Si le encanta la emoción, lo mejor es un crucero por Mykonos o Harmony. Pero, si lo que busca es relajarse y hacer turismo, los cruceros Jónico y Zante son una excelente opción. Y no olvide que todos estos cruceros le brindan deliciosas opciones de menú a bordo.

 

4. Puedes experimentar Grecia sin tener que empacar constantemente

Ya sea que haya estado en Grecia antes o si está planeando su primer viaje, los cruceros en goleta son perfectos porque puede estar en su propia cabina privada. En lugar de lidiar con moverte de un lugar a otro en un automóvil o avión, tendrás tu área personal donde puedes guardar tus maletas de forma segura. Si bien tiene que viajar para llegar al punto de partida, está completamente preparado y listo para tener las vacaciones de sus sueños una vez que esté a bordo.

 

5. Puedes experimentar Grecia mientras evitas las multitudes

Si planea visitar un lugar como Mykonos y no está en una goleta privada o semiprivada, tendrá que lidiar con los transbordadores públicos que están llenos y, a veces, son frustrantes. Reservar tu plaza en la goleta es la mejor manera de evitar aglomeraciones excesivas y largas esperas. Obtendrá un acceso más directo a los puertos de las islas que visite. No tener que preocuparse por subir y bajar de cada isla reducirá el estrés de su viaje y le permitirá disfrutar más de las cosas.

 

6. Podrás ver cosas que otras personas no pueden

Grecia tiene una de las costas más hermosas del mundo. Estas islas son conocidas por sus aguas azules y pueblos antiguos que no puedes experimentar en ningún otro lugar. Pero obtendrá un acceso aún más exclusivo si viaja en una goleta. Hay muchas zonas, como calas y bahías, a las que solo se puede llegar en barco. Descubrirá rincones y pintorescas vistas al mar que nunca olvidará.

 

7. Los cruceros en goleta están disponibles para muchas islas

En Sail in Greece, ofrecemos cruceros en goleta por Mykonos, las Islas Jónicas y Zante. Muchas opciones también se detienen en ciudades griegas conocidas como Atenas, por lo que puede ver varias áreas a lo largo de su tiempo con nosotros. Ofrecemos cuatro opciones principales de cruceros, y cada una tiene un itinerario y una ruta únicos que siguen. Cada crucero le permite disfrutar de visitas turísticas por áreas históricas, vistas desde la cubierta y más. Sin embargo, todos ofrecen algo único, por lo que es mejor investigar un poco para decidir cuál es mejor para usted y para otras personas que viajan con usted.

 

8. Puedes reservar un charter privado

Si bien los cruceros en goleta ya son bastante exclusivos y privados, puede tener una experiencia verdaderamente individual a través de las opciones de personajes privados. Nuestros alquileres de yates permiten a las personas tener total libertad para explorar lo que quieran ver en las islas griegas. También puede contratar su propia tripulación o ir con nuestros patrones locales. Los charters privados son ideales para los viajeros que desean tener su propia experiencia personalizada. Podrás quedarte todo el tiempo que quieras en un lugar o ir por la ruta opuesta y ver tantos lugares como sea posible.

Grecia tiene tantas áreas hermosas con ricas historias y culturas. Si bien es posible que haya oído hablar de lugares como Mykonos, Zante es parte de las inolvidables Islas Jónicas, y un crucero es la manera perfecta de ver esta zona costera.

En esta guía, aprenderá más sobre Zante, incluidas algunas cosas emocionantes para hacer y ver mientras esté allí. Luego descubrirá cómo un crucero en goleta Zante es la manera perfecta de experimentar esta hermosa isla.

¿Dónde está Zante, Grecia?

El continente de Grecia está rodeado por muchas islas más pequeñas, y cada una de ellas ofrece su propio sabor, historia y turismo. Zante, también conocido comúnmente como Zakynthos, se encuentra en la costa suroeste de Grecia. Es parte de las islas Jónicas. Una de las principales zonas de la isla para visitar es la ciudad de Zakynthos.

¿Cómo puedo llegar a Zante?

Como Zante es una isla, no podrás llegar en coche. En su lugar, deberá acceder al área en ferry o en algún otro barco. Una de las formas más sencillas de llegar a esta impresionante isla es a través de un crucero en goleta. Estos cruceros llevan a la gente en lujosos yates de madera por las islas griegas. Pero estos barcos son muy diferentes de los grandes cruceros con los que podría estar familiarizado, ya que son mucho más apartados y privados. Si está buscando experimentar Zante, un crucero en goleta es una forma ideal de vencer a las multitudes.

¿Cuál es la historia de Zante?

Zante tiene una larga y rica historia e incluso se menciona en La Ilíada y La Odisea. En la antigüedad, la ubicación central del área era una ventaja estratégica y era un lugar fácil para vivir y cultivar. Entonces, la mayoría de los habitantes eran ricos y tenían cierta influencia y poder.

En la historia más reciente, la isla de Zakynthos estuvo gobernada en varios momentos por Rusia e Inglaterra, pero se reintegró a Grecia en 1864.

¿Por qué es conocida la isla de Zakynthos?

Los venecianos de hace mucho tiempo llamaban a Zante la «Flor de Oriente», y este apodo te da una idea de cómo es el área. El paisaje está lleno de exuberante vegetación e incluye áreas costeras, así como montañas cubiertas de pinos y llanuras fértiles que son ideales para el cultivo de alimentos.

Los veranos en Zante son cálidos y soleados, y la isla cuenta con muchos de los ingredientes más apreciados de la cocina mediterránea, como uvas, aceitunas y cítricos. Si te gusta la buena comida y el buen vino, aquí encontrarás lo mejor.

Junto con las hermosas vistas y la fascinante historia, Zante también se ha convertido en un destino turístico. Muchas personas disfrutan participar en actividades al aire libre aquí o disfrutar de la naturaleza, ya que la isla alberga a la tortuga marina en peligro de extinción, Caretta Caretta. Estas tortugas se reproducen en las playas de la isla de Zante, por lo que puede tener suerte si programa un viaje bien y puede ver a las tortugas adultas en las playas mientras ponen sus huevos.

¿Qué hay para hacer en Zante, Grecia?

Si te encanta la playa, Zante es el destino perfecto. La isla tiene playas de fama mundial que cuentan con arena dorada. Algunas de las playas más populares son Alykes y Laganas. Si bien algunas de estas áreas de playa tienen muchos hoteles, restaurantes, bares y más, otras son más tranquilas y permiten a los visitantes ver más del entorno natural.

Junto con las vistas naturales y las actividades en la playa, la isla también tiene una rica tradición musical y arquitectónica.

¿Cuáles son algunas actividades específicas para experimentar en Zante?

Si bien la isla en general y la ciudad de Zante específicamente son increíbles de ver, hay algunas actividades recreativas específicas que puede consultar.

Esto es lo que recomendamos:

• Entra en las Cuevas Azules: el agua debajo de estos arcos de piedra natural es excepcionalmente brillante. Los colores son casi neón, y nadar o pasear en bote por la zona es una actividad imperdible.
• Experimente un club nocturno: las islas griegas son conocidas por su vida nocturna excepcional. Hay varios clubes nocturnos en la isla, pero Barrage Club es especialmente popular.
• Coma todo lo que pueda: si bien este es un punto general más que uno específico, Zante no tiene escasez de cocina local para visitar. Si tiene la oportunidad, pruebe tantos alimentos nuevos como sea posible.
• Practique snorkel con las tortugas: estas majestuosas criaturas son emocionantes sin importar dónde las vea, pero se ven mejor cuando nadan en su hábitat natural. Las tortugas bobas que se reproducen en la isla son fáciles de ver si reservas un tour en barco. Incluso podrás hacer esnórquel cerca de la zona.

¿Qué implica un crucero a Zante?

Un crucero en goleta es una de las mejores maneras de ver cualquiera de las islas Jónicas. Estos barcos varían en tamaño, pero la mayoría contiene entre cuatro y 16 camarotes. Por lo tanto, son bastante privados en comparación con otras opciones como los transbordadores. A diferencia de los grandes cruceros que quizás conozca, un crucero en goleta es mucho más pequeño y le permite privacidad. Podrá ver más de las vistas de la costa y disfrutar de actividades en la cubierta y una cabina privada donde puede guardar sus pertenencias.

 

Por qué debería reservar un crucero hoy

En Sail in Greece, nuestra hermosa goleta oceánica llamada M/S Aphrodite transporta pasajeros a Zante y sus alrededores. Este barco en particular puede albergar hasta 20 personas y tiene siete baños. Durante nuestro crucero por Zante, hacemos paradas en Agia Efimia, Meganiki, Poros, Vathi, Fiskardo y Zante.

El itinerario incluye paradas para nadar, visitas guiadas e incluso incluye almuerzos y dos cenas.

Con un crucero en goleta a Zante y de regreso, experimentará lo mejor de Grecia. Podrás hacer turismo y conocer la historia de la zona para luego disfrutar de las vistas a bordo mientras navegamos por la costa. Puede relajarse en la playa, nadar o beber un poco de vino mientras se sienta en la terraza.

Si alguna vez ha querido conocer Grecia, un crucero en goleta a Zante es la elección perfecta. Es fácil comenzar y tenemos opciones de reserva flexibles. Comuníquese hoy para obtener más información.

Have you ever been to the Greek islands? Greece is one of the most beautiful and culturally and historically significant countries in the world. Ancient Greeks and their society have had a long-term impact on so many societies, as they influenced government systems, philosophy, the arts, and much more. Today, the country of Greece is known for its delicious cuisine, spectacular views, pristine beaches, and exciting nightlife.

There are many ways to visit Greece and many places to visit around the country, but some of the most unique and worthwhile are in the Ionian Islands. These islands are located in the Ionian Sea and sit to the west of the mainland. Because they are small islands, most of them can only be reached by boat. 

While some people visit on ferries, there are many downsides to following the crowd. Instead, one of the best ways to experience the Ionian Islands is to book a gulet charter. Read on to discover why a private gulet charter could be right for you. 

 

What Is A Gulet Charter?

Gulets are wooden sailing vessels that have been used for hundreds of years. These yachts have either two or three masts, but most only have two. Today, most gulets are streamlined and modern, and you can experience these exciting boats either with a gulet cruise or a private gulet charter.

 

What’s The Difference Between A Gulet Cruise And A Gulet Charter?

The main difference between a Greek gulet cruise and a Greek gulet yacht charter is the amount of privacy and independence you’ll have during the experience. Both of these options are a great way to see islands and towns like Mykonos and Zante, but you’ll get the most personalized and private experience if you book a gulet character instead of a cruise.

With a cruise on a gulet, you’ll share the experience with some other passengers. The exact number of people on board depends on the exact program you choose, as some ships in our fleet only have around four cabins while others have up to 16. You’ll still get your own ensuite cabin that allows you to have a good deal of privacy and store your belongings in a secure way.

However, you won’t have complete control over the itinerary. These cruises have a set structure and plan that is followed. While some adjustments might be made in extenuating circumstances, there generally won’t be many changes. So, while you will get to see many things you wouldn’t see in Greece any other way, you don’t get to decide how long the gulet remains in one port.

On the other hand, a yacht charter allows you to go wherever you want in the area and stay there as long as you want. We have a fleet of these yachts with bases in Athens, Corfu, Mykonos, Santorini, and many more. You’ll start your trip at one of these locations and can pick the most convenient option, and then, you’ll set sail.

 

What About A Crew For My Private Charter? 

Yacht charters in Greece are exclusive and personalized, and the options for operating the yacht are also somewhat customizable. You can hire your own crew, as long as they are qualified. But, if you don’t have one available to you, it’s also easy to hire one of our local skippers. 

If you have any questions about booking a private character and everything that entails, you can reach out to the team at Sail in Greece today.

 

What Are The Options For Private Yacht Charters?

We provide customizable options for people looking to charter a yacht around the Greek islands. You can even get a last-minute character if needed. 

One of the best choices for many travelers is our private yacht experience. 

Whether you’ve visited many times or want to explore the Greek islands for the first time in a unique way, you can check out our private group options. For this package, you’ll get a yacht that suits your needs, as well as a Greek skipper who has experience sailing boats and navigating the islands. This option is ideal for people who don’t have any sailing experience, but experienced sailors will also enjoy the trip.

Some of the benefits of a private group character are that:

• They are accommodating for families, couples, and small groups.
• You get access to skilled skippers and a crew if needed.
• These yachts allow you to choose how long your trip is, and you can make adjustments for where you want to go as you sail along.
• You’ll be able to stop and swim in areas that aren’t accessible without a sailboat or yacht of some kind.

The experts at Sail in Greece can work with you to plan the Greek yacht charter of your dreams. So, we are always willing to discuss our various options and asses which would work best for you.

 

What If A Private Gulet Charter Is Inaccessible For Me?

A private yacht charter is a fantastic way to see places like Mykonos, Athens, and Zante island. However, these options are a bit pricier than some other ways to get around. So, if the idea of a yacht character appeals to you, but it’s not an option for you at this time, don’t fear. There are still many ways to see the Greek islands from a yacht. Sail in Greece provides many gulet cruises that let you see the sights in a semi-private environment. 

While you won’t’ get to customize everything you do, you’ll still be able to see and experience Greece in a one-in-a-million way.
