Greece and Greek islands Sailing

Greece is an ideal sailing area due to its morphology. Having many hundreds of islands and islets its coastline is more than 15000km long. Innumerous unexplored beaches and picturesque ports and shelters are scattered around its coastline.

Temperature and wind variations highly depend on the season and the area. One can select between easier to sail seas (such as the Ionian Sea) and those more difficult to sail (like the Aegean Sea).

Sailing season can start as early as March and finish by mid November, when the Azores High dominates the area while the Siberian High becomes weaker. It is during spring time (March, April and May) that air temperature is higher than sea water temperature and pressure variations force huge masses of air to move from the islands towards the sea. This effect becomes stronger during the months of July and August when temperatures rise even higher.

During fall (October/November) the Siberian High dominates the area resulting in a relative atmospheric instability.
