| | Corfu is one of the most visually exciting regions of Greece with its variety of natural beauty – green woodlands, wild pine-covered mountains, lakes, cultivated fields and of course, miles of golden beaches. The Ionian cruising area extends from Corfu in the north to the island of Zante in the south. Short distances and line-of-sight sailing makes relaxing cruising. With light winds and delightful sailing conditions, the Ionian Sea on the western side of Greece is in constant demand for luxury yacht charters. This has always been one of the most popular yacht charter areas, with its myriad of anchorages, quiet fishing villages and lively resorts dotted among lush green islands, all made famous in folklore and Greek mythology. 
The yacht charter season in Greece starts early April and ends in November. High season runs from the last week of July till the first week of September. When sailing in the high season you should take into account the following:
The most crowded sailing areas will be Corfu, Lefkas and the Saronic. You will also find a lot of non-yacht charter tourists on the popular islands of Mykonos, Ios, Santorini, Kos, Rhodes, Lesvos, etc. In the Aegean Sea the strong Meltemi could not only be a nuisance but also a hazard for sailors. All tavernas, museums, mineral baths, etc will be open. Another popular y acht charter areas are the Cyclades. This group of islands, which is situated in the Aegean Sea is made up of 56 islands of various sizes. Just South of Cape Sounion there are a couple of islands that are far more removed from mainstream tourism, and thus a lot quieter. The landscape varies from island to island, but is generally quite barren. The climate is dominated by a Northerly wind, which blows weakly in May and June, but can be quite strong in July and August. Even around Christmas, the temperature still climbs to 16 – 20 degrees. Due to its warmer climate, this area is be particularly recommended for March, April, September and October, when it is much colder in central and western Europe and America. learn more about available charter yachts in Greece Diversity is the essence of this dazzling destination where the ruins of ancient civilizations mix with nightlife and modern marinas.
