Greece Yacht Charter

Hydra is an elegant afternoon and overnight stop on a Saronic charter. Begin with a swim from the yacht in one of the island’s rocky coves, then take the tender into its car-free harbour. Walk past stone mansions and galleries, visit the Historical Archives Museum or explore the lanes above the port, and stay ashore for dinner before returning onboard.

Best for: Art, architecture & car-free island life

Spetses combines a relaxed day on the water with a refined evening ashore. Cruise along the pine-covered coast and stop for swimming before taking the tender to the Old Harbour. Continue to Dapia, visit the Bouboulina Museum or explore by bicycle or horse-drawn carriage, then finish with dinner overlooking the waterfront.

Best for: Pine-framed coves & elegant evenings

Aegina fits naturally at the beginning or end of a charter from Athens. Start with a swim near Moni or in one of the island’s quieter bays, then go ashore in Aegina Town. Guests can visit the Temple of Aphaia with a private guide, explore the waterfront market and taste the island’s famous pistachios before continuing through the Saronic Gulf.

Mykonos is the social high point of a Cyclades charter and is best planned as a full day with an overnight stay. Spend the morning swimming off the southern coast, continue ashore for lunch at a beach club, then return to the yacht before the evening. Later, go ashore in Chora for Little Venice, boutiques, dinner and nightlife.

Best for: Beach clubs, shopping & nightlife

Santorini is a scenic and cultural stop rather than a conventional beach day. Approach through the caldera to see the volcanic cliffs and white villages from the water, then go ashore for a private wine tasting, a walk through Oia or dinner in Fira. Return onboard for sunset from the sea, subject to the yacht’s anchoring plan and conditions.

Best for: Caldera views, wine & sunset

Paros gives the itinerary an easy balance of swimming, water sports and social life ashore. Begin around the coves of Antiparos or the sculpted rocks of Kolymbithres, using the yacht as a base for the tender and water toys. In the evening, go ashore in Naoussa for its whitewashed lanes, boutiques and dinner around the former fishing harbour.

Best for: Water sports, boutiques & harbour dining

Milos should be treated primarily as a full day on the water. Cruise towards Kleftiko, where the tender can pass between volcanic arches and sea caves, leaving time for swimming, snorkelling and paddleboarding beneath the cliffs. Later, go ashore for the lunar landscape of Sarakiniko or continue to Plaka for sunset and dinner.

Best for: Sea caves, swimming & tender exploration

Folegandros is a quiet afternoon and overnight stop between the more active Cycladic islands. Spend the day swimming from the yacht near Katergo or another secluded bay, then take the tender ashore and continue to clifftop Chora. Walk through the medieval Kastro, climb to the Church of Panagia for sunset and remain ashore for a relaxed dinner.

Best for: Secluded bays, clifftop walks & quiet evenings

Corfu can serve as an elegant beginning or finale to an Ionian charter. Cruise the green coastline and explore the caves around Paleokastritsa by tender before going ashore in Corfu Town. A private walk through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, the Old Fortress and the Liston can be followed by dinner before guests return onboard.

Best for: Cultural heritage, coastal cruising & fine dining

Paxos is one of the Ionian’s most yacht-oriented stops and deserves a full day, ideally followed by an overnight stay. Explore the Blue Caves along the western coast, swim off Voutoumi on Antipaxos and then approach Gaios through its island-framed channel. Finish with a waterfront dinner in Gaios or Lakka.

Best for: Sea caves, Antipaxos swims & harbour dining

Lefkada is best experienced as an active day on the water. Cruise beneath the cliffs of Porto Katsiki and Egremni, stop for swimming and water toys, then continue east towards Meganisi. The tender can explore Papanikolis Cave before guests go ashore in a small harbour for lunch or remain onboard for a quieter evening.

Best for: Dramatic beaches, water toys & island hopping

Kefalonia has enough range for one or two charter days. Use the yacht to connect mountain-backed beaches and clear coves with the polished harbour of Fiskardo. Swim near Foki or another quiet bay, go ashore for lunch and boutiques, or arrange a private inland visit to Melissani Cave before returning onboard for dinner.

Best for: Scenic cruising, Fiskardo & inland discovery

Skiathos is the natural gateway to the Sporades and works well as an energetic first or final night. Approach Lalaria from the sea for a morning swim beneath its white cliffs, then spend the afternoon around Koukounaries or onboard with the water toys. In the evening, go ashore in Skiathos Town for Papadiamantis Street, restaurants and bars.

Best for: Beaches, water toys & lively nights

Skopelos offers a slower charter day shaped by pine-covered shores and small green bays.

Return to Skopelos Town for an evening walk and dinner among its traditional lanes.

Best for: Pine-framed bays, film locations & authentic island life

Alonnisos is the nature-led stage of a Sporades charter. The captain can shape the day around the protected waters of the National Marine Park, with stops for swimming, snorkelling and tender exploration where permitted. Guests may continue to Kyra Panagia and its monastery, then finish ashore in Patitiri or the old hilltop village.

Best for: Marine nature, snorkelling & quiet exploration

Rhodes is usually an embarkation point, finale or extended cultural stop rather than a brief call. Before or after boarding, explore the UNESCO-listed Medieval City with a private guide. Once underway, the yacht can cruise towards Anthony Quinn Bay or Lindos for swimming, followed by an evening ashore beneath the Acropolis of Lindos.

Best for: Medieval history, Lindos & coastal swimming

Kos is a convenient gateway and an engaging cultural stop between longer Dodecanese passages.

Return to the harbour for dinner before continuing towards the smaller islands.
