GREECE
No matter how much time one has, it is never enough to cruise around the Greek Islands, so well known around the world, for their most amazing virgin coasts, the most breathtaking sunsets, whether one wants peaceful or crowded cosmopolitan vacation.
The Greek Island Simplexes are the Saronic Islands, the Cyclades, The Sporades, The Dodecanese, Crete, and the Ionian Islands. However, it is worth mentioning that even the mainland offers equally breathtaking beaches and landscapes!
SARONIC ISLANDS
Aegina (Egina), Poros, Hydra, Spetses
They are so close to Athens that they have become the favored weekend haunts of Athenians and the International Jet Set either for a short week-end or before cruising the Aegean or the Ionian. Any week-end in summer, the Marinas of these islands are full of the enormous, pricey private and commercial super yachts of Greece old and new jet set. Hordes of tourists come in on day cruises to these picturesque little islands.
  
 
CYCLADES
Andros, Tinos, Syros, Delos, Paros, Naxos, Folegandros, Syfnos ....and many more...
For many, the Cyclades personify Greece, with their white-washed cube houses, their brilliant blue sea, their rough and elemental landscape, their impressive archaeological sites. Two of the most famous of all Greek islands: Mykonos and the unique phenomenon island of Santorini, are the pin-ups we all lust after when we consider cruising on our private yacht in Greece.
The near-mythical views of volcanic Santorini. The lifestyle of Mykonos. The awe-inspiring ruins of Delos..
This is a small example of the Cyclades islands, since really no matter how much time one has, it is never enough to cruise around the Greek and most breathtaking islands!!
MYKONOS
May be the most cosmopolitan and expensive Greek island, attracting all the international jet set and the most exclusive Super Yachts & Mega Yachts of all the Mediterranean, from its countless beaches, many good restaurants and bars. About 20 years ago, the international jet set made Mykonos one of its Meccas and ever since the glamour of its nightlife and population have been this barren island's chief attraction. Anchor outside of Mykonos Town's "little Venice" with its row of waterfront cafes overhanging the water, and have a look at the Folklore Museum and Archaeological Museum at both ends of the quay. Shop by day or take in one of Mykonos' extravagant bars for a sunset drink.
SANTORINI
Is a mystically beautiful volcanic island that was round in antiquity. The view while approaching the island with your yacht is amazing, with sheer, striated cliffs and white cubist villages perched at the summit. Drop anchor on the easily accessible east coast for a swim at black volcanic-sand beaches and unbeatable deep-sea diving. Don't miss Santorini's supberb archaeological sites, including Ancient Thira, a Doric city- fortress from the 9th century B.C. high on a southern coastal promontory, and farther south, fascinating on-going excavations at Akrotiri, which is an even earlier Minoan settlement. Walk a few meters to the far southern tip for a breathtaking black-sand moonscape beach backed by a sheer red cliff.
