Sailing Greece

Eurocharter sailing Greece the flotilla specialists, offer informal flotillas, independent sailing, or a combination of the two. Meander around the Greek and Dalmatian Islands, wander from island to island, village to village, taverna to taverna at your leisure. Our relaxed cruises are an ideal first step from dinghies to cruising yachts. Enjoy the privacy of your own yacht in the company and security of one of our flotillas. For those who are qualified we are also able to offer a selection of larger bareboats for venturing further afield. Fabulous sailing in these most beautiful areas.

Activity Holidays specialises in providing sail training in Greece and Croatia whilst cruising the islands as part of a small flotilla. In addition to our very popular training courses which appeal to everyone from singles to families we also offer one and two week flotillas, a mix of a shore-based holiday in either hotel or self-catering studio with or without an additional week afloat, plus day-boat hire and three day training course options. The most effective way to explore the Greek Islands is to choose a one way charter: by sailing from one charter base to another you will be able to see much more. Also, a one way cruise downwind gives you a longer range and is usually a lot more comfortable than a windward beat.
Yet, when dealing with a dubious charter company, you might have to accept an inferior yacht when starting from a smaller base. Two other good reasons to start your holiday in Athens are the logistics involved and - more importantly - you and the owner of the charter company will be able to meet each other.
Best to sail with the reliable companies of course, but many of these are not very keen on their yachts ending up downwind of Athens or other larger bases. Therefore, a one way charter comes with an additional fee , but it is definitely worth your money.
During the sailing season the winds blow from the northwest or the northeast in most areas: Corfu to Lefkas, Athens to Syros, Athens to Paros, Kos to Rhodes, etc. are some examples of one-way itineraries. Finally, Lavrion (on the mainland at the southeast tip of Attica) is often overlooked as a perfect start into the Cyclades.
Again, it is always better to start at a major base like Athens and perhaps Lavrion, since the owners of the charter company would very much like to meet you and help you with the additional requests you might have.
