Greece is renowned as the sailing home of the Mediterranean and with 6,000 islands and islets scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas, sailing holidays are a very popular way to experience Greece.
With so much coastline, natural beauty, and ancient history, it’s easy to see why Greece has built its impressive sailing reputation. Many islands are uninhabited, though the most popular have sizable cities, to explore as well.
Some exquisite islands to visit for sailing holidays in Greece include the Ionian Islands, the Cyclades, the Saronic Islands, Sporades Islands, and Dodecanese Islands.
For new sailors, the Ionian Islands offer gentle winds and easy sailing. Major highlights include the islands’ emerald bays and historic towns (if you’re preparing for your first trip you find high-quality sailing equipment here).
For more experienced sailors, consider the Sporades Islands. You can navigate around the National Marine Park of Alonissos. Lucky sailors may be rewarded with a glimpse of a rare monk seal, dolphins or even migrating whales.
