Discover the Greek Islands

Depending on your luxury yacht charter Greece itinerary, visit some of these stunning locations.

The birthplace of democracy and of western civilization. Looming over the city skyline, are the majestic columns of the Parthenon on Acropolis hill - one the most important architectural monuments in the world. Nearby are many musuems and the Plaka area, a charming pedestrian tourist area with many traditional restaurants, bars and unique shops.

See the famous Temple of Aphaia (490 BC) on a 1.5-hour round-trip hike or explore the quaint little village and have coffee overlooking the bay. Aegina boasts the best pistachio nuts in the world and they can be found in the local shops.

When viewed from seaward, Poros is one of the most beautiful towns in Greece – arriving is a great photo opportunity. Wander streets lined with Mediterranean bougainvillea, jasmine, cactus, fig and cypress trees on the way to the clock tower to see panoramic views of the sun setting over the majestic Peloponnese Mountains.

Wander the cobbled streets and Venetian laneways of this famous historic and cosmopolitan port. Visit art galleries and shop for local handicrafts, exquisite clothing and jewelry. A 30-minute coastal walk or ten-minute water taxi ride leads to the rustic Miramare hotel and charming Mandraki beach or hike up to Profitis Ilias Monastery which is an incredible 2-hour hike up overlooking Hydra town.

Take a stroll along the boardwalk to see the Greek caiques (traditional boats) being hand made in their cradles. Then explore Admiral Bouboulina's fascinating 18th century mansion museum and tour bustling Spetses town.

Visit the largest ancient amphitheatre in Greece. Epidaurous with its 14,000-seat capacity is a spectacular example of ancient architecture and only a 20- minute taxi from the harbor.

Enjoy an afternoon swim in crystal clear waters, snorkel or paddle to shore then crawl into the natural thermal hot tub on the beach of Kolona Bay. The volcanic heated water is 38 degrees Celsius.

Loutra, Kythnos

Explore this charming beachfront town with many cafes and tavernas. Enjoy a soak in the hot thermal waters on the beach as they cascade from under sacred church ground.

Kleftiko Bay, Milos

Arrive at uninhabited Kleftiko bay then swim or snorkel in translucent waters. For a surreal experience, take a kayak through a maze of breathtaking caves admiring the surrounding white cliffs - some as high as 100m.

Visit the spectacular volcanic creek of Sarakiniko and hike around the deep grotto of Papafraga. Later in the day see the charming fishing village of Madrakia and the ancient, Hellenistic amphitheatre at Tripiti where the statue of the Venus de Milos was found. Other sites include the geological museum near the harbor.

Maintains a traditional charm and depth beyond the tourist cover. The landscape changes its hue with the light and shapes of rugged landscapes combined with carved shapes of white buildings cascading down the hillsides. In the old port town of Livadi, memories of olden days appear, while at the hilltop town of Hora the cosmopolitan town square has something for everyone with restaurants and small bars.

Platy Yialos, Sifnos is one of the best kept secrets of this rural Cycladic island. The harbour is only 6 years old and not listed in most cruising guides, so most sailors pass right by! The small modern harbour offers good protection from most weather, and there are fine restaurants and specialty stores along the beautiful beach and promenade.

Folegandros

At the tiny rustic port of Folegandros a bus ride takes you up to to see the magical hilltop 'Chora' village, with incredible drop-off views of the coastline and Cycladic islands. Enjoy a sunset cocktail at one of the local hotels followed by a nice traditional taverna meal.

Drive along the coast of Ios and stop for a swim at either Manganari or Filoportas beach, two of the best beaches in the Aegean, or take some time to explore the early Cycladic civilization archaeological site - awarded a UNESCO award for the best archaeological site in Europe.

Santorini is the most breathtaking of all the Greek islands. The island is what remains of a huge volcanic cataclysm in 1500BC that left a collapsed six-mile round crater. Must see historic sites are the entombed Minoan town of Akrotiri and the hilltop settlement of ancient Thira that dates from 900BC. The UNESCO heritage town of Oia is the most beautiful place to stay and is famous for the sunsets. Santorini is well known for its fine wine and wine tasting is enjoyed at many vineyards.

In the tiny fishing cove of Skinoussa there is room to dock a few yachts on the pier and a few in the tiny bay. What is special about this little known island, is the lovely beach across from the yachts, the tiny 'Chora' hilltop town of 147 inhabitants and a fabulous restaurant.

Visit the 4th-century Panagia Ekatontapyliani (Our Lady of a Hundred Doors). The oldest remaining Byzantine church in Greece has exceptional architecture, religious icons and an exquisite marble baptismal chamber. Wander the bougainvillea-fringed streets and check out a maze of shops offering fashion, jewelry and local handicrafts.

The most important archaeological and religious site of ancient Greece, Delos remains in an excellent state of preservation. Wander through an amphitheatre, stadium, private palaces and Roman baths, finishing your exploration with a climb up sacred Mount Kythnos for a divine panoramic view of the Cycladic Islands.

Arriving by yacht into Syros is an impressive experience, and stepping off the yacht to visit both the Catholic and Greek Orthodox cathedrals, on their respective hills, is unique in Greece and offers a great view back down to the harbour. Ermoupolis is a highlight for photographers as the Venetian architecture, piaza and colorful pastel buildings is like Amalfi Italy.

From the yacht and busy cruise ship port take a bus or taxi to explore the labyrinth of white buildings ending by the windmills of Mykonos town ideal for people watching. Enjoy shopping, dining and the busiest nightlife in Greece.
