Holidays In Greece:Sailing Holidays in Greece

By John Roney


Just married and looking for romantic holidays in Greece? Greece is the ideal destination for honeymooners. Warm seas, blue skies, sun and a host of romantic islands to explore together. The good news is that there are honeymoon packages for every pocket from a luxury Greek villa to a budget beach holiday. Many hotels offer a honeymoon package which can include spa treatments, car rental, candlelit dinner, a complementary bottle of champagne and flowers in the bedroom. What more incentive do you need to? The best time to go for a Greek honeymoon is usually at the end of summer or early autumn. This will allow you to escape the fierce Mediterranean sun.

Athens: A city that became very rich and powerful about 5th century BC. All the wealth and power was demonstrated with a building complex on a rock, dedicated to the Gods. This is how Parthenon was built along with other Temples on the Acropolis. Every year, thousands of people visit Greece for this reason only: To admire one of the greatest temples ever made. Ancient Olympia: This is where the Olympic Games took place during ancient times. Every 4 years, any warfare had to stop and each city sent athletes to compete. Their trophy? An olive tree branch... Greek mainland is not a dull place for vacation either. Because of the mountainous territory (about 79% of the Greek land is consisted of mountains), Greek landscapes are here to amaze you throughout the year, even in winter! There are plenty of Greek Holiday destinations that are highly recommended to be visited during winter. Here are some of them.

Take in to consideration the total costs for hotel accommodation, ferry, airline tickets, car rental, dining out etc... If your thinking taking the whole family along on vacation then a yacht charter is definitely worth it. Another good reason to charter a yacht in Greece is if you plan on doing some Greek island hopping, then you can visit more islands at your own pace. You don't have to worry about not finding a hotel, missing your ferry or flight. You control where you want and when you want.

Mykonos, is a favourite for honeymooners. It combines a vibrant nightlife, beautiful beaches, typical Greek villages and luxury hotels - many of which do splendid honeymoon packages. It is famous for its whitewashed windmills where one can overlook Little Venice, the picturesque part of the island. Look out for Petros the Pelican, a celebrity of the island who likes nothing better than to pose for photographs in exchange for a tasty snack. Mykonos also boasts numerous cafes, bars and jewellery shops - a memento for your honeymoon perhaps? There are also museums of folklore, archeology and the maritime life of the island.

A sailing yacht on the other hand brings to mind the true meaning of sailing in Greece. This is an ideal choice for the adventurous type who wants to enjoy the full pleasures of sailing. Although they are slower and more economical to charter they are limited in space, and fewer amenities. A good yacht charter company can help you plan your sailing holiday in Greece, choose your own custom itinerary and select the right type of yacht for your sailing vacation in Greece. So leave your troubles behind and prepare yourself for carefree sailing Holidays In Greece.
