The Greek islands have been called “a Mediterranean Polynesia” and for good reason; there are 6 distinct island groups (Cyclades, Ionian, Dodecanese, Sporades, Saronic, North Aegean), offering countless miles of shores that are waiting to be explored on your Greece sailing vacations!

The Ionians have always been heavily influenced by neighboring Italy – to such an extent that they strongly resemble our beloved Capri and Ischia.
