Aegean Islands
The Aegean Islands, located in the northern and eastern Aegean Sea, offer a more off-the-beaten-path yachting experience compared to the bustling Cyclades or Ionian islands. These islands, like Chios, Samos, and Lesbos, are rich in history, with many ancient ruins and medieval castles to explore. The natural beauty of the Aegean is also striking, with volcanic landscapes, remote beaches, and crystal-clear waters. Sailors in this region can enjoy peaceful anchorages, vibrant local cultures, and a glimpse into the more traditional side of Greek island life.
Santorini: Iconic Views, Romantic Ambiance, and Volcanic Wonders
Santorini is synonymous with romance and striking natural beauty. Famous for its dramatic cliffs adorned with whitewashed buildings and cobalt-blue domes, the island offers an unforgettable backdrop for your luxury yacht journey.
Cruise into the flooded caldera and anchor near the volcanic hot springs for a rejuvenating swim. Onshore, explore the cobblestone streets of Oia and Fira, home to boutique shops, world-class restaurants, and charming art galleries. Don’t miss the archaeological site of Akrotiri, often called the “Pompeii of the Aegean,” for a glimpse into ancient Minoan civilization. Finish your day with Santorini’s legendary sunset, best viewed from the deck of your Worth Avenue Yacht, cocktail in hand
Mykonos: Where Luxury Meets Vibrant Energy
Known as the “Island of the Winds,” Mykonos is the epitome of glamour and vibrant nightlife. But beyond its famed party scene, the island boasts stunning beaches, traditional villages, and a rich history.
Dock your yacht at the bustling Mykonos Marina and begin your exploration. Spend the day lounging at upscale beach clubs like Nammos or Scorpios, or enjoy water sports in the crystal-clear waters of Ornos Bay. For a cultural touch, visit the iconic windmills and the ancient ruins of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just a short sail away. As night falls, experience Mykonos Town’s electric energy, dining at Michelin-starred restaurants and dancing under the stars.
Crete: A Fusion of Ancient Heritage and Natural Splendor
Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, offers a diverse landscape ranging from rugged mountain ranges to pristine beaches. A Worth Avenue Yachts charter allows you to uncover Crete’s treasures at your leisure.
Begin your journey with a visit to the Palace of Knossos, the center of Minoan civilization and Greek mythology. Sail to Balos Lagoon and Elafonissi Beach, where pink sands meet turquoise waters in breathtaking seclusion. Adventurous travelers can hike the Samaria Gorge, while food lovers will delight in Crete’s world-renowned cuisine. Indulge in farm-to-table meals featuring olive oil, honey, and fresh seafood as you unwind on the deck of your yacht.
Rhodes: Medieval Marvels and Sunlit Shores
Rhodes combines medieval history with idyllic beaches, making it a must-visit destination in the Aegean. The island’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled streets, grand fortifications, and centuries-old buildings.
Dock in Mandraki Harbor and step into the past as you explore the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights. For a more tranquil escape, sail to Lindos, where whitewashed homes cascade down the hillside to a turquoise bay crowned by an ancient acropolis. Snorkel in Anthony Quinn Bay or bask in the sun on Tsambika Beach for a quintessential island experience.
Paros and Naxos: Timeless Cycladic Beauty
Paros and Naxos are less crowded than their famous neighbors but equally enchanting. These islands offer a serene escape filled with timeless charm and natural beauty.
In Paros, stroll through the picturesque village of Naoussa, with its Venetian harbor and vibrant nightlife. Explore Kolymbithres Beach, known for its unique granite formations, or take a windsurfing lesson in the waters of Golden Beach. In Naxos, visit the iconic Portara, an ancient marble gateway overlooking the sea, and wander through the quaint streets of the Chora, dotted with cafes and local artisan shops. The lush inland valleys and hidden mountain villages provide an idyllic setting for hiking and exploration.
