Smart Sailing in low cost
Charter a Sailing Yacht or a Catamaran in winter sounds like a tricky business. But if you take some simple precautions there is nothing stopping you.
The weather is cooler, which makes it much more bearable to sail your yacht to an island.
Since many islands, are virtually closed to tourism during winter, the Saronic and Argolis Islands are open because are very close to Athens.
Even during winter you find a Taverna and a ‘Kafeneion’ to service you and your crew, and make you feel very quickly a part of the ‘Island culture’.
Hence a visit to Hydra, Spetses, Poros and Aegina, Agkistri by sailing yacht comes in handy again.
Even if you are not a sailor yourself, an experienced skipper with local knowledge will ensure that you follow a suitable itinerary for your winter sailing cruise.
