The geography of Greece is a daunting place to visit island – but a reasonable journey can cover the areas of interest allotted in particular time. One week, two weeks or even a month can be an adequate time.

There are around 1500 islands in Greece out of which 200 are inhabited – the islands cover 5000 square miles of an area. This can force you to imagine the level of magnitude of covering The Greek Islands in just a single trip.

We should also consider the distances between the Islands. Despite your luxury yacht vacations, you will not spend all your time on board the boat. You will eventually spend some time ashore. This time you’re going to explore the historic points along with the local delicacies and beverages.

For instance, Island of Rhodes is 260 nautical miles from Athens’s port of Piraeus. It means 24 hours will be spent on motor yacht and 48 hours on a sailing vessel. So you might be wonder not to do everything on a single trip. The greater time you’re going to spend on yacht, the lesser time you will have to spend ashore. Visiting several Islands, eating local tavernas, dancing like Zorba and exploring other interesting stuff ashore.

Luckily, non-Greeks can divide their luxury Yacht Vacation into manageable groups. The Ionian, Saronic Gulf Islands, Cyclades, Sporades, Dodecanese, East Aegean Group and Island of Crete. Each group has its attraction, geography and weather that makes unique.
