How to Sail in style between the Greek Islands
Greece has more than 2,000 islands and islets. Only 169 of them are inhabited. Some of the best places include the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Ionian, the Sporades and the Northern area of Greece. In fact anywhere in Greece is a sight to behold when arriving by sea.
So how do you travel in style by sea at a price you can afford? You hire an independent company that specialises in luxury yachts. The guest aboard divides the expense so sharing the accommodation with others is the key to an affordable luxurious holiday at sea.
When you go on a holiday afloat, which would be better a yacht or motorboat? You might think that they’re both the same but they’re not. The yacht has a mast and sails in addition to its engine and generally looks that more inviting in comparison to a motorboat. A motorboat guzzles diesel buy the gallon is noisy and smells. On average a motorboat will have more accommodation space than a yacht due to a yacht needing to accommodate its mast and sails. But then simply going for a slightly larger yacht can offset this.
If you plan to have an extended stay on board, by all means rent a yacht. They are available in various sizes and most of these can even accommodate a large sized family. You can easily book online through numerous charter companies based in Greece, most come with a skipper and hostess so there is no need for you to have any sailing experience. Another advantage of a yacht over a motorboat is that a yacht when its sails are up has a steady motion through the sea compared to motorboat.
But how much will the hiring of a yacht cost you in Greece? The price varies and this is calculated based on the size of the yacht, the number of passengers sharing the yacht and the cost of the skipper and hostess.
