Greece

The Greece section of the Borrow A Boat Magazine covers sailing across the Ionian Sea, the Cyclades, the Sporades, the Dodecanese, the Saronic Gulf, and the Peloponnese. Articles in this section break down which Greek islands suit which kind of crew, how the meltemi changes the Aegean from July to September, when the Ionian is gentlest, and where to start a charter from Athens, Lefkada, or Kos. Practical guides cover boat licenses, charter season pricing, route planning, and the differences between regions. Ready to plan a trip? Browse our full inventory at yacht charter in Greece.
