Weather in Greece
The best time to go sailing and cruising in Greece is during the warm months. The peak season for yacht charter starts in April to the end of November, but the busiest months are in July and August. During these summer months especially in July and August, many cruises in the islands of Mykonos, Santorini, Kos, Ios, Rhodes, Lefkas, and Sarcsonic. The water is generally warm and the winds are fairly strong. These conditions are perfect to go swimming, snorkeling, and sailing.
During the months around the peak season – May, June, September, and October, when the weather is still warm, there are fewer tourists, and it will be easier to charter a yacht. Also, the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands are usually lush in greens during these times.
