What is the sailing season in Greece?

Sailing in Greece is between April to October. The winds and temperature during this period are great for sailing. Conditions for enjoying the local cultural and night life and visiting the archeological sites are ideal. The water temperature is still chilly in April and starts to warm up in May and typically lasting until the end of October.
Winds in Greece vary with the sailing area and season. Most people who know this Aegean, are aware of the North Wind, named the Meltemi, which blows more frequently and with greater strength mid July to mid August, especially. in the Cyclades group of islands. If this winds picks up in the Cyclades, there are usually alternate areas to sail.

Hello we are interested in joining a flotilla bare boat itinerary for two weeks sailing the greek islands. Do you offer such a package?

Sure, We here at Albatross Charters offer a wide variety of "bare boat" flotillas, please reference our "Flotilla" section of the Albatross Charters Website:

I am interested in the Athens to Rhodes flotilla with a group of four to six persons. Would it be possible to be part of the flotilla with out a captain (our group would include at least two experienced sailors). John

John, You can join our flitillas and take a boat as a bareboat with you as the skipper. The difference is that you would have the responsibility for you boat and may not be able to take part in some of the tours and sightseeing we have planned for some of the islands. Please reference our "Flotilla" section of the Albatross Charters Website:

Dear Tim:

In Many years of chartering, I have never had a pleasanter experience than our recent bareboat charter of an Atlantic 44 in the Aegean.

Everything from our initial contact with you to the summoning of a before dawn taxi to the airport on our last day in Greece was as smooth and efficient as possible.

We shall certainly come back to Albatross for any future excursions in that part of the world.

Sincerely,

Ted Caplow

Ted,

It was a pleasure to have you join Albatross for your charter in the Greek Islands. There are so many more islands waiting for you to visit.

Tim
