Best Time to Visit Greece on a Yacht Charter
If you're looking for a leisurely sail with light winds, late spring and early summer are ideal. The winds are mild, and the sea is calm. It is the perfect time to relax in the sunshine or dive into the refreshing waters. In June, temperatures usually range from 75-85 degrees, making exploring the coast pleasant.
On the other hand, if you're seeking some adrenaline-fueled sailing experiences, visit Greece during July and August. During these months, the infamous Meltemi wind dominates the Aegean Sea, providing some of the most exhilarating sailing experiences.
The strongest winds provide challenging yet rewarding conditions for your sailing vacation. With an average temperature of 85 degrees, exploring the Cyclades islands is a popular time.
However, if you prefer a calmer and more relaxed holiday, avoid Greece charters during September and October. The Meltemi winds calm down during these months. If you're uncomfortable navigating a yacht with no wind, opting for an earlier or later season is best.
