Yacht charter in Greece, due to original fishing ports with little tourism, differs from Croatia or Majorca. Often there is no port master and therefore there is no port charge. Seamanship is not a relic of the past and still exists, mainly in remote sailing areas. The natives enjoy the influx of guests - sailors often get advice of locals. There will always be someone who knows someone who can organize fresh water or fuel for the yacht. In developed touristic areas, such as the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea, the infrastructure is much better.
Greece is well known for myths, legends and history, ancient monuments and impressive temples. And of course for being the perfect place for a vacation: sun, beach, cities, and islands belonging partly to the world heritage of UNESCO, which encourage you to explore these regions. Tasting Greek cuisine with wine, olive oil, garlic and original spices will delight you.
Greece, also called Hellas, is one of the most interesting southern European Mediterranean countries. In the east its borders are connected with Turkey, where over 3,000 small islands are situated in the south. The largest and most famous islands are Corfu, Samos, Rhodes, and Crete. The islands are in the Ionian Sea or the Aegean Sea.
Thousands of small islands and the long Mediterranean coast were the center of the Greek world. Greeks began to build ships and became good seafarers. Such cruises were in ancient times unusual and involved many dangers. The god of the sea Poseidon enjoyed great fame in Greece when his Roman counterpart Neptune was a god of lower rank. Fish (catches were more abundant than today) was an important ingredient in food.
In the ports, people of different origins and guilds met exchanging news and stories and gossiping.
