Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a sailing holiday? The pleasures of a sailing holiday at sea are countless: the warm wind and salty spray on your skin as the boat glides through the water, the freedom to explore different places and uncover uncharted beauty, and the pleasure of enjoying drinks on board at sunset. Returning after dinner to gaze at a star-filled sky and being gently rocked to sleep by the waves lapping at the boat leaves all your cares behind the shore.

When is the best time to come to Greece? The official sailing season begins in late March and ends in October. Temperatures range from 70F in late March to 95-110F in August. Occasional heat waves from the African continent hit Athens and the Saronic area, lasting one to three days and causing temperatures to reach 110-120F. The heat is pleasant and dry, especially with the cool breezes from the Meltemi winds that make June, July, August, and September so popular.
