Completely remote and uninhibited, Kato Koufonisi is a sheer contrast to Ano with its sleek and charming scene. But for those charter guests who love to be where the wild things are, Kato Koufonisi is all golden rock, bright blue gauzy waters, and a singular tavern with gingham tables and home cooked delights. Rock pools are scattered along the shoreline enticing curious visitors to explore. There’s more than one beach to pick from and while some may prefer to hike from spot to spot, you can take the tender around the coast until you find the perfect golden strip to call your own. Nero Beach is normally the most popular whereas Lakki boasts a lush tucked away cove. For those wanting to see two different sides of the coin, be sure to tag on a visit to the starry skies and serene shores of Kato Koufonisi after soaking up the vibe on Ano Koufonisi.
One of the most photographed Greek islands and famed for its sunsets, white cubist architecture, and dazzling blue domes - Santorini is the picture child of a summer yacht charter.

Other must-see sights for charter guests include the rarity of Red Beach with its ochre sands and rust-colored cliffs. Visit the boutiques and beautiful restaurants of the caldera towns of Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, and Fira, sip and swirl at one of the boutique wineries, and fall in love a thousand times with spellbinding Santorini.

A small, picturesque island with white-washed harbour walls, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and the breathtaking backdrop of the Aegean Sea, Schinousa is the perfect hideaway for peace and relaxation.

Schinousa is truly a paradise for yachters and vacationers looking for an unforgettable experience.
While there’s a wealth of islands to choose from in gorgeous Greece, Amorgos may just be the fairest of them all. This sweet Cycladic beauty is a show stopper with its soaring cliffs, bleached white villages, impressive monasteries, and deep blue seas ready to greet you at every turn. The island is doused in sea spray and antiquity, with hewn gorges, steep alleys, and treacherous steps that seem to wind on forever. The monastery of Hozoviotissa attracts pilgrims and revellers who come to see the impressive building wedged firmly into the cliffs 300m above the sea. Charter guests should also be sure to visit Chora Village and the beautiful bone white church of Agia Anna sitting against a backdrop of the sheer blue sea. There are shipwrecks and sea caves, ancient Minoan sites and impeccable beaches to add to your collection too.
Another paradise for lovely, fine-sand beaches is Paros, situated south of Mykonos. The quaint little harbour is full of fishermen's houses and Athenian retreats. Paros, much like Mykonos, is a windsurfing paradise and home to windsurfing championships. Travel inland to The Valley of the Butterflies, where you'll see thousands of Tiger Moth butterflies fluttering their wings in summer. Stay on the sister island of Antiparos for a peaceful anchorage, where there are several beaches and a spectacular Cave of Antiparos with its stalactites and stalagmites dating back 45 million years!
Milos is recognised as the Island of Colours, it has incredible rock formations and postcard villages which make it an ideal stop on your charter.

There are many great bars and restaurants, fabulous beaches and remote bays for suntanning. The island once housed the famous Venus de Milo statue, now at the Paris Louvre.
As one of the most famous stretches of golden sand in Mykonos, Platis Gialos is a scenic delight. This large beach is no hidden secret, thanks to the hotels that spill down to the sand, but with ample space and a lively buzz, it makes for a delightful day shaded beneath the parasols and swimming in the bright blue sea. Set against the scenic backdrop of squat, whitewashed buildings, and golden low-slung hills, Platis Gialos is easy on the eye. Dining and drinking options are more than available at this popular spot, and with the center of Mykonos close by, you can take a sand and sea break and head into the town to explore.
Mykonos is one of the most luxurious Greek islands, with countless resorts and many great restaurants and bars. Mykonos is famous for the glamour of its nightlife, the island's main attraction after its plethora of beautiful beaches. Anchor off "Little Venice," the charming seaside neighborhood with its row of waterfront cafes overlooking the sea, and stop at the Folklore Museum and the Archeological Museum. Shop by day or enjoy a sunset cocktail in one of the glamorous Mykonos bars.
