GREECE
Greece is split in many smaller areas that differ significantly:
- Sailing/Catamaran newbies best head for the Ionian Sea starting from Lefkas, Corfu or Preveza
- Experienced sailors are challenged by the windy cyclades or a one-way-trip
- Families should take a look at the Dodecanese from Rhodes or Kos, or at the Saronic Gulf from Athens
- If you like it quiet go for the Dodecanese
- Excellent yachting infrastructure and marinas can be found in the Ionian Sea
Greece, with one of the largest charter yacht populations worldwide, has all types of catamarans to offer, from sailing over power and crewed catamarans.
For the easier sailing areas such as the Ionian and Dodecanes any catamaran type is suitable. If you plan to head into the Cyclades or intend to cover longer distances we recommend to select one of the catamarans with better sailing abilities (Catana, Fountaine Pajot, ...) or a bigger catamaran. In the Cyclades the yachting infrastructure is less developed, therefore a Generator and Watermaker make things easier, but are not mandatory.
The best pricing is available for Bareboat Catamarans between 38-42 feet and Crewed Catamarans between 45-52 feet.
