Greece Yacht Charters | History
History-minded travelers will savor a visit to Greece since it's the birthplace of democracy and philosophers like Socrates and Plato. Greece is also the home of ancient Greek gods and mythology.
Greece has a long maritime history, ultimately leading to its current position as one of the significant hubs of yachting in the Mediterranean. The Greece yacht charter history dates back to the 1800s when yachting first became popular amongst the wealthy of Europe.
It wasn't until 1866 that the Dutch coined the word yacht. It is a combination of the Swedish word Jagt (meaning hunt) with the German word Boot (meaning boat). Although hunters were using many yachts, yachting wasn't an activity in and of itself until wealthy individuals began using it as a mode of transportation and a way to entertain guests at social gatherings.

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, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine or diving into the refreshing waters. In June, temperatures usually range from 75-85 degrees, making exploring the coast and enjoying fresh seafood 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 winds are at their strongest, providing challenging yet rewarding sailing conditions. With an average temperature of 85 degrees, the warm weather combined with the wind makes it a popular time to explore the Cyclades islands.
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. In fact, some days can be windless, leaving you adrift. If you're uncomfortable navigating a yacht with no wind, opting for an earlier or later season is best.
