Five different cruising areas in Greece, The Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf, the Dodecanese, the Sporades, and the Ionian Islands. Hundreds of islands, sandy beaches, ancient harbors, and small ports. Each with something new to offer.
Cyclades: The capital of Greece, which lies on the east. This area is where you will watch for the Meltemi Winds in the summer, primarily July and August, but it can happen any time in the summer. Some islands you can see are Mykonos, Santorini, and Kos.
Ionian Sea: Has the deepest point of the Mediterranean Sea. They call this Calypso Deep and reach depths of 17,280 feet. The more tranquil and verdant Ionian Sea on the west side. Some find this side easier sailing in predictable winds. The Ionian is considered to be one of the world’s most seismically active locations. You can visit the islands of Lefkada and Corfu.
Dodecanese: In the southeastern Aegean Sea, full of history, medieval castles, and Byzantine churches. These islands run down the coastline of Turkey. Rhodes and Kos are some of the highlights.
Saronic Gulf, Argolic, and The Peloponnese: The Argolic Gulf, known as the Gulf of Argolis, is a gulf of the Aegean Sea off the east coast of the Peloponnese, Greece. You can see the islands of Hydra and Dokos.
Sporades: are an archipelago along the east coast, northeast of the island of Euboea, in the Aegean Sea. The Sporades consist of 24 islands, but only four of these are permanently inhabited: Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos, and Skyros.
