The main lecture at the MYBA Yacht Charter Show on Tuesday featured knowledgeable captains discussing some of their favorite destinations. Their recommendations:
Corsica to Sardinia.
By capt James Pitman, HEAVENLY DAZE
These two amazing mediterranean islands offer great beaches, chic and glamorous restaurants and nightlife for where celebrities and the rich and famous hang out. They also offer incredible beauty and solitude. And, because they are in close proximity to the French and Italian Coasts, they are easy to get to and offer a full array of luxury yachts.
See our Corsica Yacht Charter Guide and our Sardinia Yacht Charter Guide for further information and itinerary ideas.
Greece – Kalamaki to Kithira
Everyone has heard of Santorini, but for a different experience featuring ancient history and quiet beaches, try Kalamaki to Kithira. Simplicity is the key word says captain Berdos Evangelos, SUNCOCO, meaning relaxation, beauty, and calm.
We have an excellent itinerary for this area starting in Kalamaki.
